BILL NUMBER: S6271 SPONSOR: RAMOS TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the criminal procedure law, in relation to the issuance of temporary orders of protection when an action is pending in a local criminal court PURPOSE: This bill will add a section to the Criminal Procedure Law that will codify recent case law enabling accused parties in criminal proceedings to request a hearing when temporary orders of protection are issued against them. These temporary orders can cause homelessness, job loss, immigration consequences, and family separation. This change will give judges the opportunity to assess information and determine whether temporary orders are necessary to protect the parties. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill adds Section 530.15 of the Criminal Procedure Law.
