AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

When someone obtains a protective order based on knowingly falsified statements or information, this bill creates a legal process allowing the person the order was filed against to challenge it in court within 60 days of the protective order hearing. If the court finds that information was deliberately falsified, it can require the party who filed the false information to pay the other side's attorney fees and costs. In custody cases where co-parents are involved and a court both finds falsification and dismisses the protective order on the merits, the wronged parent can seek make-up parenting time equal in type and length to what was lost, and the court may also order counseling for the child.
