This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 14-07 of the North Dakota Century Code that mandates the disclosure of court records related to domestic violence protection orders to law enforcement. Specifically, it stipulates that any court record associated with a domestic violence protection order must be made available to law enforcement officers upon request. This provision aims to facilitate the effective execution of law enforcement duties in cases involving domestic violence.
The new legal language emphasizes the importance of timely access to relevant court records for law enforcement, thereby enhancing their ability to respond appropriately to incidents of domestic violence. By ensuring that law enforcement officers can obtain these records, the bill seeks to improve the overall safety and protection of individuals affected by domestic violence in North Dakota.
