SB 6290 - DIGEST

     Requires that the ex parte order and notice of hearing must include at a minimum the date and time of the hearing set by the court to determine if the temporary order should be made effective for one year or more, and notice that if the respondent fails to appear or otherwise not respond, an order for protection will be issued against the respondent under this act, for a minimum of one year from the date of the hearing.  The notice must also include a brief statement of the provisions of the ex parte order and notify the respondent that a copy of the ex parte order and notice of hearing has been filed with the clerk of the court.

     Provides that the court's order, entered after a hearing under this chapter, need not be served on a respondent who fails to appear before the court, if the material terms of the order have not changed from those contained in the temporary order, and it is shown to the court's satisfaction that the respondent has previously been personally served with the temporary order.
