HB 1088 creates a new penalty for people who violate protection orders issued to protect vulnerable adults from abuse or harm. The bill also removes two outdated sections of state law (§2-5-2 and §2-5-3) related to protection orders. This change strengthens protections for vulnerable adults by establishing legal consequences for those who ignore court-ordered protection orders.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
