Summary
Reinserts the provisions of the bill with these changes. Requires the court to grant a request for remote hearing unless good cause is shown to deny the request. Provides that a petitioner may not be denied a protective order solely on the basis that the petitioner or the respondent is incarcerated in a penal institution at the time of the issuance of the order. Allows a petition seeking protection to include a crime victim who was abused by a family or household member before the offender was incarcerated and by any person who has previously suffered abuse by a family or household member convicted of certain crimes. Provides that if the respondent does not contest the motion to extend a plenary order of protection after service of the motion in accordance with Supreme Court Rules, the court may grant the request for an extension based solely on the petitioner's motion and affidavit setting forth the requirements of the provisions governing plenary orders. Makes structural changes.
