  Section 1. Subdivision 5 of section 530.13 of the  criminal  procedure
law,  as  amended by chapter 462 of the laws of 2002, is amended to read

protection  between the defendant and the person or persons for whom the
order of protection is sought. An order of protection issued under  this
section  shall plainly state the date that such order expires. Orders of
protection issued to protect victims of domestic violence, as defined in
section four hundred fifty-nine-a of the social services law,  shall  be

istrator  of  the courts in a manner to ensure the compatibility of such
forms with the statewide registry of orders of protection  and  warrants
established  pursuant  to section two hundred twenty-one-a of the execu-
tive law. A copy of an order of  protection  or  a  temporary  order  of
protection  issued  pursuant  to subdivision one, two, three, or four of
this section shall be filed by the clerk of the court with the sheriff's
office in the county in which such victim or victims reside, or, if  the
victim  or  victims  reside within a city, with the police department of
such city, AND SHALL BE FILED WITH THE COMPUTERIZED REGISTRY  OF  ORDERS

police  department  or sheriff's office having jurisdiction of the resi-
dence, work place, and school of anyone intended to be protected by such

ly  amended by sections 14 and 67 of part A of chapter 56 of the laws of
2010, is amended to read as follows:
  1. The superintendent, in consultation with the division  of  criminal
justice services, office of court administration, and the office for the

the establishment and maintenance of a statewide  computerized  registry
of  all orders of protection issued pursuant to articles four, five, six
and eight of the family court act, section 530.12 of the criminal proce-
dure law and, insofar as they involve victims of  domestic  violence  as
defined by section four hundred fifty-nine-a of the social services law,
section  530.13  of  the criminal procedure law and sections two hundred
forty and two hundred fifty-two of the domestic relations law AND  THOSE
ORDERS OF PROTECTION WHICH A COURT ORDERS FILED WITH THE REGISTRY PURSU-
ANT TO SUBDIVISION FIVE OF SECTION 530.13 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW,

courts of competent jurisdiction in another state, territorial or tribal
jurisdiction, special orders of conditions issued pursuant  to  subpara-
graph  (i) or (ii) of paragraph (o) of subdivision one of section 330.20
of the criminal procedure law  insofar  as  they  involve  a  victim  or
victims  of  domestic  violence as defined by subdivision one of section
four hundred fifty-nine-a of the social services  law  or  a  designated
witness  or witnesses to such domestic violence, and all warrants issued
pursuant to sections one hundred fifty-three and eight  hundred  twenty-
seven  of the family court act, and arrest and bench warrants as defined
in subdivisions twenty-eight, twenty-nine and thirty of section 1.20  of

ly court act pertaining to articles three, seven and ten of such act and

protection, warrants and special orders of conditions, and for enforcing
the provisions of paragraph (b) of subdivision four of section 140.10 of
the criminal procedure law.
