SB902

Oklahoma SB902 amends the Protection from Domestic Abuse Act to require a safety plan for plaintiffs seeking protective orders and mandates.

Oklahoma SB902 amends the Protection from Domestic Abuse Act by requiring plaintiffs to present a safety plan to the court when seeking a protective order. The safety plan must include code words for covert assistance requests, a list of support contacts, and other safety-related information. The plan remains confidential and is not shared with the defendant. The court may dismiss the protective order upon reviewing the safety plan. The bill also prohibits protective orders from imposing terms that compromise the victim's safety, such as mediation or joint counseling.
