Description: The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee proposes amending rule 1.51 of the California Rules of Court to include the registration of (1) interstate and tribal court protective orders, under Family Code section 6404; and (2) Canadian protective orders, under Family Code section 6454, as protective orders that must be submitted to the court with a completed Confidential CLETS Information form. The committee also proposes the adoption of a new mandatory form to implement the requirements of Senate Bill 204 that allow domestic violence protection orders issued in a Canadian civil court to be registered and enforced in California under Family Code sections 6450–6460. The Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee proposes amending two rules relating to protective orders. It proposes amending rule 1.51 to add a reference to Penal Code sections 118100―18205, the gun violence restraining order statutes that became operative January 1, 2016, as protective orders that must be submitted to the court with a completed Confidential CLETS Information form. In addition, it proposes amending rule 2.503(c) to add records in gun violence prevention proceedings to the list of electronic court records that are accessible only at the courthouse and are not available remotely.
