This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 14-07 of the North Dakota Century Code that focuses on the disclosure of domestic violence protection orders to law enforcement. The new legal language mandates that court records related to domestic violence protection orders must be disclosed to law enforcement officers upon request. This provision aims to facilitate the duties of law enforcement in handling cases involving domestic violence.
By ensuring that law enforcement has access to relevant court records, the bill seeks to enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement in responding to domestic violence situations. The requirement for disclosure is intended to improve communication and cooperation between the judicial system and law enforcement agencies, ultimately aiming to provide better protection for victims of domestic violence.
