Complete·3/14/26

Military protection orders can be considered as evidence for emergency protective orders and personal safety orders, and law enforcement must notify.

West Virginia HB4366 amends the state code to clarify the use of military protection orders in the court system. It provides that a military protection order issued to a protected person because they were a reported victim of an offense can be considered sufficient information for a magistrate to find there are reasonable grounds to believe that the respondent has committed an act of domestic violence.
