The resolution proposes an interim study to evaluate Nebraska's protection order statutes, focusing on their historical development and current utilization. It aims to assess whether these statutes can or should apply to juveniles and to gather data on protection order filings, including the types and numbers of requests made. The study will also seek testimony from individuals experienced in the protection order process.
The Judiciary Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this interim study. Upon completion, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature, ensuring that the insights gained from the study can inform potential legislative changes or improvements to the protection order system in Nebraska.
