HB 1025 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

DOMESTIC ABUSE: Provides relative to a violation of a protective order

This bill modifies Louisiana law regarding violations of protective orders in domestic abuse cases. It creates an affirmative defense for defendants who can prove the protected person voluntarily initiated contact for reconciliation without using force or coercion. The law specifically applies when the protected person requested, invited, or consented to the contact, and the defendant did not initiate the interaction themselves. This provision aims to provide legal protection for individuals attempting to reconcile relationships while maintaining accountability for those who use threats or intimidation.
