Modernizes domestic violence protection orders in North Carolina to include same-sex couples and others in dating relationships.
The bill updates the definition of "personal relationship" in North Carolina's domestic violence protection order statutes to include same-sex couples and others in dating relationships. It ensures that protective orders are available to those who meet the criteria, such as current or former spouses, persons of opposite sex who live together, and those in dating relationships. The changes apply to orders issued after the bill becomes law.
