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 will involve analyzing data on protection order filings, the types of requests made, and gathering testimonies from individuals experienced in the protection order process.
The Judiciary Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this 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.
