Senate BillIntroduced
S 191: Provides that the county probation department may apply for a temporary order of protection as part of the adjustment process.
What S 191 does, verified January 8, 2026
The bill aims to expand the circumstances under which a temporary order of protection can be issued in family court cases. A temporary order of protection can now be issued ex parte or upon notice, at any time after a juvenile is taken into custody, regardless of the reason for custody. This change allows the court to take action more quickly to protect a juvenile's well-being. The bill also expands the situations in which a temporary order of protection can be issued, including upon the filing of a petition or application from the county probation department. The temporary order of protection can be issued without notice to the respondent, or with notice, as the court sees fit.
