law enforcement; military protective orders

HB 2599 requires Arizona law enforcement officers to notify the military agency that entered a military protective order into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) when they believe a service member has violated such an order in the state. The bill applies directly to Arizona police and sheriff's departments who encounter violations of military protective orders issued under federal law (10 U.S.C. § 1567) by military commanders. Key provisions mandate that officers must notify the military agency upon determining probable cause of a violation, using existing NCIC systems that track domestic violence orders and criminal histories. The bill does not create new legal obligations for service members but establishes a communication protocol between state law enforcement and military authorities.
