The bill mandates that law enforcement officers, when executing or serving an order of protection, must also check for any outstanding criminal warrants related to domestic violence or offenses where the petitioner is the victim. This requirement is intended to enhance the safety of individuals seeking protection by ensuring that any relevant warrants are addressed during the service of the order.

To implement this, the bill amends Arkansas Code 9-15-208 by adding a new subsection that specifies that law enforcement must perform a check for active warrants before executing the service of the order of protection. This addition aims to streamline the process and ensure that law enforcement takes necessary actions to protect victims of domestic violence effectively.
