What AB 285 does, verified February 3, 2026
The bill aims to improve protection for victims of domestic violence and sex offenses. If a defendant is convicted and sentenced to prison, the court must order a temporary protective order upon their release. This order is valid for up to 180 days and protects the same victim or victims from the original protective order. The bill also authorizes the issuance of protective orders in certain circumstances and extends certain orders, which is a state-mandated local program. The bill does not require state reimbursement for certain costs.
