MI HB5532

Adds provision allowing courts to prohibit respondent from attending the same school building as a minor petitioner who is a victim of sexual assault by the respondent, if the petitioner is enrolled in grades K-12.

Expands personal protection order provisions in MCL 600.2950a to include restraining orders against individuals who commit stalking or sexual assault-related conduct, with specific notice and hearing requirements.

Requires courts to schedule hearings within 5 days (instead of 14 days) for motions to modify or rescind ex parte orders when the respondent is a law enforcement officer or firearm license holder and the order prohibits firearm possession.

Clarifies that courts must state specific reasons in writing for issuing or refusing personal protection orders, both in written decisions and on the record during hearings.

Takes effect August 8, 2018 (90 days after enactment on May 9, 2018).
