AB 309 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

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.
