Pennsylvania law provides special provisions for protection orders involving defendants who are or have recently been incarcerated, removing the need to prove ongoing risk for extensions. Additionally, orders must include the defendant's Social Security number and date of birth if provided. Section 62A08 is reserved and currently not in use.
If the defendant is or was incarcerated and will be or has been released within the past 90 days, a plaintiff does not need to prove ongoing risk to obtain or extend a protection order.
The order must specify the defendant's Social Security number and date of birth when this information is furnished by either party.
Section 62A08 is reserved and not currently in use.
Recent incarceration allows for an extension or issuance of a protection order without needing to demonstrate ongoing risk, provided the defendant was released within the last 90 days.
