Statute Text
Proof
of service of restraining order to be delivered to sheriff; entry in LEDS;
expiration of restraining order; release of respondent pending hearing.
(1) Whenever a restraining order,
as authorized by ORS 124.015 or 124.020, that includes a security amount and an
expiration date pursuant to ORS 124.015 and 124.020 and this section, is issued
and the person to be restrained has actual notice of the order, the clerk of
the court or any other person serving the petition and order shall immediately
deliver to a county sheriff a true copy of proof of service, on which it is
stated that personal service of the petition and order was served on the
respondent, and copies of the petition and order. Proof of service may be made
by affidavit or by declaration under penalty of perjury. If an order entered by
the court recites that the respondent appeared in person before the court, the
necessity for service of the order and proof of service is waived. Upon receipt
of a copy of the order and notice of completion of any required service by a
member of a law enforcement agency, the county sheriff shall immediately enter
the order into the Law Enforcement Data System maintained by the Department of
State Police. If the petition and order were served on the respondent by a
person other than a member of a law enforcement agency, the county sheriff
shall enter the order into the Law Enforcement Data System upon receipt of a
true copy of proof of service. Entry into the Law Enforcement Data System
constitutes notice to all law enforcement agencies of the existence of the
order. Law enforcement agencies shall establish procedures adequate to ensure
that an officer at the scene of an alleged violation of the order may be
informed of the existence and terms of the order. The order is fully
enforceable in any county in this state.
(2)(a) A
restraining order shall remain in effect until the order expires or is
terminated by court order.
(b) When a
restraining order has been entered under ORS 124.020, the restraining order
shall not be terminated upon a motion for dismissal by the petitioner or
guardian petitioner unless the motion is notarized.
(3) In any
situation where a restraining order described in subsection (1) of this section
is terminated before the expiration date, the clerk of the court shall
immediately deliver a copy of the termination order to the county sheriff with
whom the original order was filed. Upon receipt of the termination order, the
county sheriff shall promptly remove the original order from the Law
Enforcement Data System.
(4) Pending a
contempt hearing for an alleged violation of a restraining order issued under
ORS 124.015 or 124.020, a person arrested and taken into custody pursuant to
ORS 133.310 may be released as provided in ORS 135.230 to 135.290. Whenever a
restraining order is issued under ORS 124.015 or 124.020, the issuing court
shall set a security amount for the violation of the order. [1995 c.666 §8;
