Introduced
by
To repeal a section of criminal law that authorizes a judge to order a “peace bond” from an individual who has threatened to commit an offense against the person or property of another. This is not the same as the much more common "personal protection orders" used in domestic violence, stalking and similar cases, and there are concerns that peace bonds have been used to abridge individuals' free speech rights.
Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
Reported without amendment
Without amendment and with the recommendation that the bill pass.
