- Orders would run up to six months initially and could be extended in three‑month increments subject to court review, with state coordination units overseeing compliance.
- Courts could compel offenders to attend anti‑violence training or counseling, request data from the weapons register, and violations of protection orders would carry up to three years in prison.
