Kianna's Law mandates notification to victims and family members when restraining orders are served, not served, or expired.
Kianna's Law amends the General Laws to ensure that victims and their family members are notified by law enforcement when a temporary restraining order or abuse prevention order is successfully served, not served, or has expired. The law also requires the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services to enter this information into the public safety information system. Additionally, the victim and witness assistance board must survey local law enforcement agencies, courthouses, and district attorney's offices to assess the effectiveness of services provided to victims and witnesses.
