RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 75 (SB 66) 2022 Regular Session Connick
Prior law provided penalties for violation of protective orders depending upon recidivist
status, whether the offender battered the victim, and whether the offender committed a crime
of violence against the victim. Prior law further provided that a violation of a protective order
is a crime of violence if the violation involves a battery or any crime of violence against the
victim to whose benefit the protective order is in effect at the time of the violation.
New law retains prior law and provides enhanced penalties when the offender goes to the
residence or household, school, or place of employment of the person for whose benefit the
protective order is in effect while in possession of a firearm.
Effective August 1, 2022.
(Amends R.S. 14:2(B)(50) and 79(B) and (C))
