New York A05630 allows family and criminal courts to extend orders of protection for up to two years beyond their expiration if the court finds.

New York A05630 amends the Family Court Act and the Criminal Procedure Law to allow family and criminal courts to extend orders of protection for up to two years past their expiration if the court finds reason for an extension and documents the reasoning. An "extreme case" is defined as a continued threat of harm to the protected party, a finding of repeated criminal contempt due to a violation of an order of protection, or continued intent to commit harm, intimidate, or threaten the protected party. The bill also revises the duration of orders of protection for various offenses.
