Allows lifetime orders of protection when the respondent is convicted of certain felonies or an attempt to commit such felonies.

New York A05222 amends the criminal procedure law to allow lifetime orders of protection for victims of certain felonies or attempts to commit such felonies. The court may issue such an order if the victim petitions for it, and the order remains in effect for the lifetime of the petitioner or the respondent, whichever is shorter. The bill also allows for the assessment of a civil penalty for violations of these lifetime orders.
