What it does
Increases the penalties imposed on individuals convicted for violations of temporary restraining orders and orders for protection.

Specifies that any conviction for violation of a temporary restraining order issued under the same judicial case number as an order for protection shall be treated as a prior violation of an order for protection.
More detail
Clarifies when the court may suspend certain jail sentences for violations of domestic abuse protective orders. (HD2)
