Digest
HB 1571, also known as "Anthony's Law", proposes enhancements to the accessibility and notification features of the protective order registry in Texas. The bill mandates the inclusion of all filed applications for protective orders and orders issued, including expired or vacated ones, except where vacated on appeal. It extends registry access to designated legal professionals, peace officers, and victims representing themselves. Additionally, it requires the registry to notify relevant courts and legal entities when a person subject to a protective order violates it or commits a related offense in another jurisdiction. This notification must detail the time, place, nature of the offense, and the contact information of involved legal authorities and investigators.
