The bill mandates that law enforcement officers executing or serving an order of protection must also serve any outstanding criminal warrants related to domestic violence or offenses where the petitioner is the victim. Specifically, it adds new subsections to Arkansas Code 9-15-208, which require officers to serve any outstanding misdemeanor or felony warrants when they are serving an order of protection.

Additionally, if a respondent appears at a hearing and there is an active criminal warrant that has not been served, the court is required to notify law enforcement to respond. The responding officer must then serve, detain, and transport the respondent to the appropriate detention facility. This legislation aims to enhance the enforcement of protection orders and ensure that individuals with outstanding warrants are addressed promptly during related legal proceedings.
