	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 161, Campos. Restraining orders.
   Existing law requires a court in a proceeding for dissolution of
marriage or legal separation of the parties to issue a temporary
restraining order enjoining both parties from cashing, borrowing
against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the
beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage held for the benefit
of the parties and their child or children, for whom support may be
ordered. Existing law also authorizes a court in a domestic violence
proceeding to issue ex parte protective orders, as specified.
   This bill would specifically authorize, on and after July 1, 2014,
a court in a domestic violence proceeding to issue an ex parte order
restraining any party from cashing, borrowing against, canceling,
transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any
insurance or other coverage held for the benefit of the parties, or
their child or children, if any, for whom support may be ordered, or
both.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 6325.5 is added to the Family Code, to read:
   6325.5.  (a) The court may issue an ex parte order restraining any
party from cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring,
disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other
coverage held for the benefit of the parties, or their child or
children, if any, for whom support may be ordered, or both.
   (b) This section shall become operative on July 1, 2014.
