[§586-24]  Enforcement of foreign protective
orders.  (a)  A law enforcement officer shall enforce a foreign protective
order that appears to be authentic on its face.  For purposes of this section,
"authentic on its face" means the protective order contains the names
of both parties and remains in effect.



(b)  If a paper copy of the order is
unavailable and the officer verifies the existence and status of the order
through a national or state centralized registry for protective orders or
through communication with appropriate authorities in the issuing state, tribe,
or territory, the officer shall enforce the order.



(c)  A law enforcement officer shall make an
arrest for a violation of a foreign protective order in the same manner as for
violations of protective orders issued in this State. [L 2000, c 186, pt of §7]
