[§586-22]  Valid protective order.  (a) 
A protective order issued by another state, tribe, or territory shall be
considered valid if:



(1)  The issuing court or tribunal had jurisdiction
over the parties and matter under the laws of the state, tribe, or territory;
and



(2)  The respondent received notice and an opportunity
to be heard before the foreign protective order was issued; provided that, in
the case of an ex parte order, notice and opportunity to be heard were provided
within a reasonable period of time, sufficient to protect the respondent's
right to due process.



(b)  Failure to provide reasonable notice and
opportunity to be heard shall be an affirmative defense to any charge or
process filed seeking enforcement of an out-of-state protective order. [L 2000,
c 186, pt of §7]
