The NY Daily News on Sen. Stavisky's bill strengthening penalties for repeat violators of orders of protection

Posted by Toby Ann Stavisky on Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

The Daily News discusses Sen. Stavisky's legislation that strengthens the penalties for people who repeatedly violate orders of protection.  The legislation was inspired by a brutal murder in Flushing, NY, in January 2010 where the victim had sought multiple orders of protection against the man who eventually killed her. 

The legislation passed in the Senate in 2010 and is awaiting a vote in the Assembly.
