The purpose of this bill is to limit the grounds upon which a personal safety order may issue. Since the Personal Safety Act went into effect in 2012, there have been a number of petitions filed which alleged harassment that was of a very minor or even frivolous nature. This bill is designed to prevent nonserious grounds from being a basis for a personal safety order by requiring that the harassment or threats of bodily injury be a repeated behavior. Additionally, this bill establishes the proper venue in which such petition may be filed. Some petitioners have been sent to several different magistrate courts because current law does not specify the proper venue in which a PSO may issue. This is a particular problem in cases where the parties do not live in the same county or the acts that led to the petition occurred in a county other than the one in which the petitioner resides. This bill is a product of a work group consisting of court personnel, representatives of the domestic violence coalition, and other victim rights groups who met several times over the past year for the purposes of resolving these issues.
