CA SB1089

Clarifies that all protective orders subject to transmittal to the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) are required to be transmitted, closing a loophole where parties sought stipulated "non-CLETS restraining orders"

Addresses the practice of parties attempting to obtain protective orders that would not be entered into CLETS despite legal requirements to do so

Adds subdivision (j) to Family Code Section 6380 declaring that all protective orders subject to CLETS transmittal must be transmitted and explicitly stating this is declaratory of existing law, not a change in law

Applies to domestic violence restraining orders, harassment/violence injunctions, criminal court protective orders, and juvenile court restraining orders

Took effect upon Governor's approval on July 9, 2018
