Nikki Goeser, the CPRC’s Executive Director, was present for final passage of a bill that she inspired to create a lifetime order of protection. The order can be issued to a victim of certain felony offenses to prohibit the offender from coming about or communicating with the victim. The bill passed the House unanimously and had already passed the Senate unanimously. The bill now goes to Governor Bill Lee’s desk for signature. Once signed, the law will go into effect on July 1st. You can watch Nikki’s testimony in favor of this legislation here.
