HB 366 Original 2026 Regular Session Edmonston

Abstract: Removes the ability to show cause for continuance of a temporary restraining order protecting the petitioner, any minor children, or a person alleged to be an incompetent.

Present law provides for a temporary restraining order in civil suits alleging domestic violence.

Present law provides that when a hearing to show cause for the temporary restraining order is continued, a continuance of hearing regarding the temporary restraining order shall not exceed 15 days unless good cause is shown.

Proposed law removes the ability to show cause for continuing the temporary restraining order and prohibits continuing the temporary restraining order beyond 15 days.
