Providing vulnerable adults with a similar tool will allow them access to a user-friendly and affordable method to obtain civil remedies.

As compared to RSA 173-B, relinquishment of firearms is not mandatory, but would take place only if an order of the court \"makes a specific finding that it is necessary for the protection of a plaintiff.\" The majority recognizes that vulnerable adults may face the same risk of harm by a defendant as a victim of domestic violence and believes a vulnerable adult should be afforded the same ability to seek protection from the court. The penalties in this bill are similar to those in RSA 173-B, which the majority finds to be consistent and just.

The stated intent of protecting this population is laudable and a concept that I fully support. However, as drafted, this bill potentially reduces the protections available to domestic violence victims who are vulnerable adults, by creating a tool that includes far fewer protections than current law.", "Under current state law, when a victim of domestic violence goes to court to file for a protective order, they are presented with two options: either a domestic violence protective order under RSA 173-B, or a stalking protective order under RSA 633:3-a. Because this legislation so closely mirrors the domestic violence protective order statute, and does not clearly delineate that it is only intended for vulnerable individuals and is not appropriate for victims of domestic violence, we run the risk of those who are statistically in most imminent physical danger attaining the wrong protective order and not receiving the critical protections they truly need.", "However, the Legislature passed the bill without this clarifying language to make clear that victims of domestic violence should not be seeking relief under this new civil order. In failing to add such an amendment, adult victims of domestic violence will now be presented with a new option for a \"restraining order\" when they appear at the circuit court to seek protection from abuse. Although legislators argued that the courts should be responsible for helping a victim to choose between a \"domestic violence protective order\" or a new \"vulnerable adult protective order\", court clerks are prohibited from giving legal advice and therefore frequently do not provide guidance to victims regarding which petition is appropriate to file. Per NH court statistics, we know that 88% of individuals seeking protective orders are representing themselves pro se. Pro se victims, who are frightened and in immediate danger, will be left to determine which order will be safest for them on their own.", "HB 696 has the potential to endanger victims of domestic violence and their children by providing victims of domestic violence with a false sense of security and, ultimately, putting them at grave risk.", "Of particular concern is the fact that HB 696 does not contemplate protections for a vulnerable adult's minor children. When judges grant protective orders under the domestic violence statute, RSA 173-B, temporary relief from the court can include protections for minor children. Specifically, RSA 173-B:4 (4) states that temporary relief from the court may include: \"Awarding custody of minor children to either party or, upon actual notice, to the department when it is in the best interest of a child.\" It goes on to include considerations around defendant visitation of minor children, including ordering supervised visitation, and requires the court to consider the best interests of the child. HB 696 is entirely silent on protections or even considerations for minor children.", "Additionally, HB 696 does not provide explicit direction restraining the defendant from entering the plaintiff's place of employment or school. Under RSA 173-B, relief explicitly includes: \"Restraining the defendant from contacting the plaintiff or entering the plaintiff's place of employment, school, or any specified place frequented regularly by the plaintiff or by any family or household member.\" HB 696 is entirely silent regarding place of employment or school.", "HB 696 does not allow for appointment of guardians ad litem to represent best interests of minor children involved. RSA 173-B allows for the assignment of a court-appointed guardian ad litem to represent the interests of the children of either or both parties. HB 696 only contemplates the appointment of guardians ad litem to represent the interests of the vulnerable adult, with no mention of children involved. Safety provisions for minor children are not guaranteed.", "Finally, 173-D:11(I)(a) of the legislation raises the real possibility that an individual's Second Amendment constitutional rights could be violated without judicial oversight. Other advocates have raised legitimate concerns regarding 4th Amendment considerations.", "I appreciate the many and diverse stakeholders who worked hard to make HB696 a good piece of legislation. I know that their intentions were sincere but in the end the legislation is not ready to become law.

I. A vulnerable adult, guardian, or attorney-in-fact of a vulnerable adult, or if authorized by the vulnerable adult, the department, may seek relief pursuant to RSA 173-D:6 by filing a petition, in the county or district where the plaintiff or defendant resides, alleging abuse, exploitation or neglect by the defendant. Any person filing a petition containing false allegations of abuse shall be subject to criminal penalties. Notice of the pendency of the action and of the facts alleged against the defendant shall be given to the defendant, either personally or as provided in paragraph II. The plaintiff shall be permitted to supplement or amend the petition only if the defendant is provided an opportunity prior to the hearing to respond to the supplemental or amended petition. All petitions filed under this section shall include the home and work telephone numbers of the defendant, if known. Notice of the whereabouts of the plaintiff shall not be revealed except by order of the court for good cause shown. Any answer by the defendant shall be filed with the court and a copy shall be provided to the plaintiff by the court. II. No filing fee or fee for service of process shall be charged for a petition or response under this section, and the plaintiff or defendant may proceed without legal counsel. Either a peace officer or the sheriff's department shall serve process under this section. Any proceeding under this chapter shall not preclude any other available civil or criminal remedy. III. The clerks of the circuit courts shall supply forms for petitions and for relief under this chapter designed to facilitate pro se proceedings. All such petitions shall contain the following words: I swear that the foregoing information is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I understand that making a false statement on this petition will subject me to criminal penalties. IV.(a) The court shall hold a hearing within 30 days of the filing of a petition under this section or within 10 days of service of process upon the defendant, whichever occurs later. (b) The time frame established in this paragraph may be extended for an additional 10 days upon motion by either party for good cause shown. A recusal by the judge or any act of God or closing of the court that interferes with the originally scheduled hearing shall not be cause for the dismissal of the petition. The court shall reschedule any hearing under this section in an expeditious manner. V. In any proceeding under this chapter, the court shall not be bound by the technical rules of evidence and may admit evidence which it considers relevant and material. VI. In a proceeding under this chapter, a support person may accompany a party in court and, if the party is not represented by an attorney, may sit with the party at the table that is generally reserved for the party and the party's attorney. The support person is present to provide moral and emotional support for a person who alleges he or she is a victim of abuse. The support person is not present as a legal adviser and may not provide legal advice. The support person may assist the person who alleges he or she is a victim of abuse in feeling more confident that he or she will not be injured or threatened by the other party during the proceedings if the person who alleges he or she is a victim of abuse and the other party are required to be present in close proximity. This section does not preclude the court from exercising its discretion to remove the support person from the courtroom if the court believes the support person is prompting, swaying, or influencing the party assisted by the support person. 173-D:5 Temporary Relief. I. Upon a showing of an immediate and present danger of abuse, exploitation, or neglect, the court may enter temporary orders to protect the plaintiff with or without actual notice to defendant. The court may issue such temporary orders by telephone, facsimile or any other methods approved by court rules. Such telephonically issued orders shall be made by a circuit court judge to a law enforcement officer, shall be valid in any jurisdiction in the state, and shall be effective until the close of the next regular court business day. Such orders shall be returnable to the circuit court where the plaintiff resides or to which the plaintiff has fled, unless otherwise ordered by the issuing judge. If non-telephonic temporary orders are made ex parte, the party against whom such relief is issued may file a written request with the clerk of the court and request a hearing on such orders. Such hearing shall be held no less than 3 business days and no more than 5 business days after the request is received by the clerk. Such hearings may constitute the final hearing described in RSA 173-D:4, V. Such temporary relief may include: (a) Protective orders: (1) Restraining the defendant from abusing, exploiting, or neglecting the plaintiff. (2) Restraining the defendant from entering the premises and curtilage where the plaintiff resides, except when the defendant is accompanied by a peace officer and, upon reasonable notice to the plaintiff, is allowed entry by the plaintiff for the sole purpose of retrieving toiletries, medication, clothing, business equipment, and any other items as determined by the court. (3) Restraining the defendant from withholding items of the plaintiff's personal property which are specified in the order. A peace officer shall accompany the plaintiff or his/her representative in retrieving such property to protect the plaintiff. (4) Restraining the defendant from contacting the plaintiff or entering a specified place frequented regularly by the plaintiff. (5) Restraining the defendant from abusing the plaintiff, plaintiff's relatives, regardless of their place of residence, or plaintiff's household members in any way. (6) Restraining the defendant from taking, converting, or damaging property in which the plaintiff may have a legal or equitable interest. (7) Granting the plaintiff exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned, possessed, leased, kept, or held by the plaintiff or by the plaintiff jointly with the defendant in either household, and ordering the defendant to stay away from the animal and forbidding the defendant from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing, committing an act of cruelty or neglect, or disposing of the animal. (b) Other relief, including but not limited to: (1) In the case of financial exploitation, prohibiting the defendant from transferring or otherwise encumbering any of his or her assets other than for necessary household expenses, provided, however, that such prohibition shall not extend to, encumber, or otherwise limit the rights of creditors, mortgagees, or secured parties in such property. (2) Restraining the defendant from taking any action which would lead to the disconnection of any and all utilities and services to the parties' household, or the discontinuance of existing business or service contracts, including, but not limited to, mortgage or rental agreements. (3) An order enjoining a party from specified behavior that the court determines is necessary to protect the vulnerable adult. (4) If the court makes a specific finding that it is necessary for the protection of the plaintiff, the court may issue an order directing the defendant to relinquish to a police officer any and all firearms and ammunition in the control, ownership, or possession of the defendant, or any other person on behalf of the defendant for the duration of the protective order. 173-D:6 Relief. I. A finding of abuse, exploitation, or neglect shall mean the defendant represents a credible threat to the safety of the plaintiff or physical, mental, or financial well-being. Upon a showing of abuse, exploitation, or neglect of the plaintiff by a preponderance of the evidence, the court shall grant such relief as is necessary to bring about a cessation of abuse, exploitation, or neglect. Such relief may include: (a) Protective orders: (1) Restraining the defendant from abusing, exploiting or neglecting the plaintiff. (2) Restraining the defendant from entering the premises and curtilage where the plaintiff resides, except when the defendant is accompanied by a peace officer and is allowed entry by the plaintiff for the sole purpose of retrieving personal property specified by the court. (3) Restraining the defendant from contacting the plaintiff or entering the plaintiff's place of employment, school, or any specified place frequented regularly by the plaintiff or by any family or household member.

VIII.(a) No order issued under this chapter shall be modified other than by the court. (b) If either party wishes the defendant to be excused from any provisions of an order of protection, the remedy is to petition the court for modification of such order. (c) A defendant who is restrained from contacting the plaintiff or entering the premises of the plaintiff is prohibited from doing so even if invited by the plaintiff unless the restraining order has been modified by the court. (d) This paragraph shall give unequivocal direction to peace officers that orders for protection are to be enforced as written and that no action by a party relieves them of the duty to enforce the order. IX. Upon issuing an order against a defendant, in which a defendant is restrained from having any contact with the plaintiff, the court shall advise the plaintiff that it would be unwise and possibly unsafe for the plaintiff to contact the defendant. If the plaintiff wishes to contact the defendant for any reason, the court shall advise the plaintiff that such contact be made only after petitioning the court for a modification of the order.

XI. If a criminal records check conducted by the department of safety indicates that a potential buyer or transferee is prohibited from receipt or possession of a firearm pursuant to a protective order issued under this chapter, the department of safety shall notify the administrative office of the courts of the denial. The administrative office of the courts shall immediately notify the plaintiff that the defendant has attempted to purchase or obtain a firearm in violation of the protective order. XII.(a) Within 15 days prior to the expiration of the protective orders, the defendant may request, by motion to the court, the return of any and all firearms and ammunition and specified deadly weapons held by the law enforcement agency while the protective order was in effect. Upon receipt of such a motion, the court shall schedule a hearing no later than 15 days after the expiration of the order. The court shall provide written notice to the plaintiff who shall have the right to appear and be heard, and to the law enforcement agency which has control of the firearms, ammunition, and specified deadly weapons. The scope of the hearing shall be limited to: (1) Establishing whether the defendant is subject to any state or federal law or court order that precludes the defendant from owning or possessing a firearm; and (2) Under circumstances where the plaintiff has requested an extension of the protective order, whether the plaintiff has established by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant continues to represent a credible threat to the safety of the plaintiff. (b) If the court finds that the defendant is not subject to any state or federal law or court order pre-cluding the ownership or possession of firearms, or if the court denies the plaintiff's request to extend the protective order, the court shall issue a written order directing the law enforcement agency to return the requested firearms, ammunition, or deadly weapon to the defendant. (c) Law enforcement agencies shall not release firearms and ammunition and specified deadly weapons without a court order granting such release. The law enforcement agency may charge the defendant a reasonable fee for the storage of any firearms and ammunition and specified deadly weapons taken pursuant to a protective order. The fee shall not exceed the actual cost incurred by the law enforcement agency for the storage of the firearms and ammunition and specified deadly weapons. The defendant may make alternative arrangements with a federally licensed firearms dealer for the storage of firearms, at the defendant's own expense, upon approval of the court. Such firearms shall be turned over to the appropriate law enforcement agency for transfer to the storage facility. Retrieval of such firearms shall be through the law enforcement agency responsible for their transfer to the storage facility pursuant to a court order as prescribed in this paragraph. (d) No law enforcement agency shall be held liable for alleged damage or deterioration due to storage or transportation to any firearms and ammunition and specified deadly weapons held by a law enforcement agency, provided that due care is used.

As part of this process, the Department of Health and Human Services is authorized, but not mandated, to file a petition in a county or district where the plaintiff or other defendant resides alleging abuse, exploitation, or neglect by the defendant. The Department states that, were it to directly file the petitions, there would likely be additional personnel costs as well as mileage expenses for Department lawyers, adult protective service workers, and any other witnesses necessary to properly prosecute the petition. In addition, the Department assumes that even in cases in which it is not the moving party filing the petition, its personnel would still be utilized as witnesses. The Department is unable to estimate the extent of any additional costs.\n\nThis bill contains penalties that may have an impact on the New Hampshire judicial and correctional systems. There is no method to determine how many charges would be brought as a result of the changes contained in this bill to determine the fiscal impact on expenditures. However, the entities impacted have provided the potential costs associated with these penalties below.\n\nJudicial Branch\n\nFY 2020\n\nFY 2021\n\nClass B Misdemeanor\n\n$53\n\n$54\n\nClass A Misdemeanor\n\n$76\n\n$77\n\nRoutine Criminal Felony Case\n\n$481\n\n$486\n\nProtective Order\n\n$166\n\n$167\n\nWarrant Request\n\n$76\n\n$77\n\nAppeals\n\nVaries\n\nVaries\n\nIt should be noted that average case cost estimates for FY 2020 and FY 2021 are based on data that is more than ten years old and does not reflect changes to the courts over that same period of time or the impact these changes may have on processing the various case types. An unspecified misdemeanor can be either class A or class B, with the presumption being a class B misdemeanor.\n\nJudicial Council\n\nPublic Defender Program\n\nHas contract with State to provide services.\n\nHas contract with State to provide services.\n\nContract Attorney \u2013 Felony\n\n$825/Case\n\n$825/Case\n\nContract Attorney \u2013 Misdemeanor\n\n$300/Case\n\n$300/Case\n\nAssigned Counsel \u2013 Felony\n\n$60/Hour up to $4,100\n\n$60/Hour up to $4,100\n\nAssigned Counsel \u2013 Misdemeanor\n\n$60/Hour up to $1,400\n\n$60/Hour up to $1,400\n\nIt should be noted that a person needs to be found indigent and have the potential of being incarcerated to be eligible for indigent defense services. The majority of indigent cases (approximately 85%) are handled by the public defender program, with the remaining cases going to contract attorneys (14%) or assigned counsel (1%).\n\nDepartment of Corrections\n\nFY 2018 Average Cost of Incarcerating an Individual\n\n$40,615\n\n$40,615\n\nFY 2018 Annual Marginal Cost of a General Population Inmate\n\n$4,620\n\n$4,620\n\nFY 2018 Average Cost of Supervising an Individual on Parole/Probation\n\n$571\n\n$571\n\nNH Association of Counties\n\nCounty Prosecution Costs\n\nIndeterminable\n\nIndeterminable\n\nEstimated Average Daily Cost of Incarcerating an Individual\n\n$105 to $120\n\n$105 to $120\n\nThe Department of Safety states the bill's fiscal impact will be under $10,000. Any impact would be related to the expanded scope of current protective order procedures already in place for domestic violence protective orders.\n\nThe Department of Justice states the bill will have no fiscal impact as the offenses contemplated by the bill would typically be prosecuted by county prosecutors. Any appeals from convictions would be handled by the Department, but could be done within its existing budget.\n\nAGENCIES CONTACTED:\n\nDepartments of Corrections, Justice, Safety, and Health & Human Services, Judicial Branch, Judicial Council, and New Hampshire Association of Counties", "in_text": [], "chars": 36166}, "nver": 0, "namd": 0, "rsa": {"RSA 173-B": "/laws/173-b", "RSA 458:16": "/laws/458#s16", "RSA 631:1": "/laws/631#s1", "RSA 631:3": "/laws/631#s3", "RSA 631:4": "/laws/631#s4", "RSA 632-A:2": "/laws/632-a#s2", "RSA 632-A:5": "/laws/632-a#s5", "RSA 633:1": "/laws/633#s1", "RSA 633:3-a": "/laws/633#s3-a", "RSA 634:1": "/laws/634#s1", "RSA 634:2": "/laws/634#s2", "RSA 635:1": "/laws/635#s1", "RSA 635:2": "/laws/635#s2", "RSA 644:4": "/laws/644#s4", "RSA 644:8": "/laws/644#s8", "RSA 625:9": "/laws/625#s9", "RSA 21-M:8-k": "/laws/21-m#s8-k", "RSA 161-F:43": "/laws/161-f#s43", "RSA 161-F:46": "/laws/161-f#s46"}, "amends": {}, "related": [{"g": 1, "o": "2021-2022/HB246", "n": "HB 246", "t": "establishing a protective order for vulnerable adults.", "y": 2021, "c": "Died", "s": "Filed again as {b}, with much the same text."}, {"g": 2, "o": "2019-2020/SB677", "n": "SB 677-FN", "t": "relative to protective orders for vulnerable adults.", "y": 2020, "c": "Interim Study", "s": "This term's {b} has the same text."}, {"g": 2, "o": "2019-2020/HB1660", "n": "HB 1660-FN", "t": "establishing a protective order for vulnerable adults.", "y": 2020, "c": "Died", "s": "This term's {b} has much the same text."}]}
