California AB1889 amends the Penal Code to enhance protective orders for victims of domestic violence and other specified crimes.

California AB1889 modifies Section 136.2 of the Penal Code to allow courts to issue protective orders for victims of domestic violence and related crimes. These orders can include restrictions on the defendant's contact with the victim, electronic monitoring, and firearm prohibitions. The court may also order the defendant to pay for electronic monitoring if they can afford it, or the local government may cover the cost if the defendant cannot. The bill emphasizes the safety of victims and their families as the primary concern when issuing these orders.
