SB 1192: Domestic violence: Reclaim Act.
This bill creates a process for victims of domestic violence to seek protection from abusive litigation by a person who abused them. A court must grant a request for a prefiling order if the victim demonstrates that the litigation filed or the discovery requested by the abuser was frivolous or abusive. The person subject to a prefiling order must obtain permission from the court to file any litigation or conduct discovery against the victim. If a party subject to a prefiling order violates that order, they are subject to sanctions, attorneys' fees, damages, and costs. The victim will not be charged filing fees for any filings related to seeking a prefiling order. Additionally, parties may file documents electronically without charge, and appear remotely in hearings without charge.
