What is CA SB 99 about?

Existing law establishes the Domestic Violence Prevention Act for the purpose of preventing acts of domestic violence, abuse, and sexual abuse and providing for a separation of the persons involved in the domestic violence for a period sufficient to enable those persons to seek a resolution of the causes of the violence. Existing law authorizes a court to issue an ex parte protective order enjoining a party from, among other things, stalking, battering, or disturbing the peace of the other party. This bill would authorize a court determining whether to issue a protective order to consider evidence submitted to it by either party that a military protective order has been issued against the respondent, as specified. The bill would additionally require a law enforcement officer who receives information at the scene of a domestic violence incident that a military protective order has been issued to verify the existence of that order. The bill would require a law enforcement officer who determines that a military protective order has been issued against a person involved in the domestic violence incident who violates a provision of a domestic violence protective order to notify the law enforcement agency that entered the military protective order that the restrained party may be in violation of a military protective order. By increasing duties on local law enforcement, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would authorize each law enforcement agency in the state that petitions for or enforces domestic violence protective orders to develop and adopt memoranda of understanding with military law enforcement or other designated representatives of one or more military installations located in whole or in part within the borders of its jurisdiction that govern the investigation and actions related to domestic violence involving service members assigned to units on those installations, as specified. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 6383 of the Family Code proposed by AB 1753 and SB 1395, to be operative only if this bill and either or both of those bills are enacted and this bill is enacted last. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
