CA SB99

Courts may consider whether a military protective order has been issued against a respondent when determining whether to grant a domestic violence protective order under California's Domestic Violence Prevention Act.

Law enforcement officers responding to domestic violence incidents must verify the existence of any military protective order through the National Crime Information Center when informed such an order exists.

Officers who determine a person has violated a domestic violence protective order while also subject to a military protective order must notify the law enforcement agency that entered the military order into the national database.

Local law enforcement agencies may develop memoranda of understanding with military installations in their jurisdiction to coordinate investigation, information sharing, and domestic violence prevention services involving service members.

"Military protective order" is defined as a protective order issued by a commanding officer against a person under their command in the U.S. Armed Forces, California National Guard, or another state's national guard.
