Alfred Williams HB No. 338
Abstract: Extends the effective period of a temporary restraining order when the hearing on the
issue of a preliminary injunction is continued due to weather, natural disaster, or a
declared state of emergency.
Present law authorizes the issuance of a temporary restraining order effective for a specific
period of time during the pendency of an action for a preliminary injunction.
Proposed law retains present law and provides that in the event that the hearing on the issuance
of a preliminary injunction is continued by the court because of weather, natural disaster, or a
declared state of emergency, any temporary restraining order issued in the matter shall remain in
effect until the hearing on the issuance of the preliminary injunction is rescheduled and
concluded.
