Kayleigh’s Law Act of 2026 mandates natural lifetime injunctions for victims of certain felonies.
The Kayleigh’s Law Act of 2026 amends title 18, United States Code, to mandate the issuance of natural lifetime injunctions for victims of specific felonies. These injunctions prohibit convicted defendants from contacting their victims. The court must include this order in any sentencing proceeding, and violations are punishable as contempt of court. The injunctions can only be terminated or suspended if the victim seeks to end it due to a pardon or commutation of the conviction, or if the defendant seeks to end it due to a dismissal or appeal overturn of the conviction.
