Revises provisions relating to certain orders for protection against domestic violence. (BDR 3-885)
AB 309 requires temporary orders for protection against domestic violence, when served to someone in custody, to include specific information about their right to contest an extended order. The order must state that if the person remains in custody on the hearing date, they can file an affidavit explaining why the extended order should not be granted, and that failing to file may result in the court granting the order without their input. This change directly affects individuals in jail who are named in such orders, ensuring they are clearly informed of their options before the hearing. The bill does not alter existing procedures for issuing temporary orders but adds these informational requirements for incarcerated defendants.

The substantive legal text regarding domestic violence orders remains unchanged.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability are unchanged; this is a procedural update to the bill's formatting and metadata.

Updated the document title and header to reflect the final 'As Enrolled' version and the 83rd Session (2025), replacing the preliminary 'Reprint 1' status.
Removed the 'Referred to Committee on Judiciary' line and the preliminary reprint date of February 27, 2025.
Added the formal 'The People of the State of Nevada' enactment language and updated the Legislative Counsel's Digest to match the final enrolled version.
