Bill Caption

Relating to certain protective orders in a suit for dissolution of marriage or a suit affecting the parent-child relationship, including a proceeding to adjudicate parentage.

Fiscal Notes

From the Legislative Budget Board: No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

SB 454 would amend the Family Code to add that the petition in a suit for dissolution of a marriage, the parent-child relationship, and adjudication of parentage must state whether regarding a party or a child of a party if there is a family violence protective order, a sexual assault or abuse protective order, or an emergency protection order in place or an application is pending. 

Vote Recommendation Notes

This bill updates disclosure of protective orders in certain suit petitions and does not appear to have a connection to our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
