The sponsor's argument
Why Jake Ashby says this is needed
While temporary orders of protection are important legal tools that protect individuals from potential harm or distress, it is not uncommon for such orders to be issued parte. Sometimes, in such instances, orders of protection have displaced individuals from their homes with no other option but to wait for the court to proceed with a fact finding hearing. In some cases, individuals subject to the temporary order have been forced to wait weeks or months before a first appearance is scheduled. With no timeframe in place, individuals who must adhere to the temporary orders of protection may be incurring hardship due to the petitioners' unjust use of the temporary order.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
