BILL NUMBER:S5821 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the family court act and the criminal procedure law, in relation to adding identity theft, larceny and coercion as crimes over which family courts and criminal courts have concurrent jurisdiction in certain circumstances; and to amend the family court act, the domestic relations law and the criminal procedure law, in relation to authorizing courts, upon issuance of an order of protection, to order a respondent to return certain documents, and debit and credit devices to the protected party PURPOSE OF BILL: This legislation will protect victims of domestic abuse by recognizing, as family offenses, some pervasive and insidious forms of economic abuse perpetrated against victims by their abusers. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: OF BILL: Sections 1, 2 and 10 of the bill amend § 812 of the Family Court Act, § 821 of the Family Court Act and530.11 of the Criminal Procedure Law respectively, to add as family offenses, identity theft in the firs:, second and third degree, grand larceny in :he third and forth degree, and coercion in the second degree as set forth in subdivisions one, two and three of § 135.60 of the penal law. Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 amend 9 446 of the Family Court Act, 6 551 of the Family Court Act, 6 656 of the Family Court Act,
842 of the Family Court Act, § 1055 of the Family Court Act, § 240 of the Domestic Relations Law, § 252 of the Domestic Relations Law, S 530.11 of the Criminal Procedure Law,530.12 of the Criminal Procedure Law respectively, to specifically provide for the return of certain identification and financial documents to the protected party as a form of relief when issuing an order of protection or temporary order of protection. JUSTIFICATION: We know that in addition to physical and psychological tactics, abusers employ economic means to control and otherwise abuse their victim making it harder for victims to secure their safety. There is broad recognition among mental health service providers, domestic violence prevention advocates and legal practitioners that in fact, economic abuse is a form of domestic abuse. Economic abuse is a tactic commonly used by abusers to control their victim's finances and prevent them from leaving an abusive relationship. The types of conduct encompassing economic abuse range from identity theft and stealing money and documents, to engaging in other conduct that prevents a victim from being self-sufficient, including hampering a victim's ability to secure or retain a job. Such conduct has severe and long lasting consequences on the safety of a domestic abuse survivor. This proposal incorporates, in statute, this understanding of economic abuse as a foam of domestic abuse. It aims to provide relief and protection to victims from some forms of economically abusive conduct perpetrated by their family or household members that, comprise criminal conduct. At a hearing on economic abuse as a form of domestic abuse, held on December 5, 2012, by the New York State Assembly Committees on Judiciary and Codes, civil legal service providers, domestic violence prevention advocates and the Office of Court Administration testified how economic abuse frequently accompanies other forms of domestic abuse perpetrated by abusers, in the family violence context, to exercise power and control over their victims and their finances. Among the long list of types of abuse cited included taking the victim's credit card and other documents; incurring debt in the survivor's name through false statements or coercion; perpetrating identity theft or otherwise incurring debt without the survivor's knowledge; preventing the victim from working; stealing the victim's paychecks or forcing the victim to turn them over to the abuser; forging the victim's signature; withholding household finances from the victim; controlling the victim's access to health insurance; exercising control over the victim's immigration status and documents; monitoring the victim's computer access and harassing the victim at work. We heard that these and other forms of economic abuse in the family violence context are common, and the abusers are uniquely positioned with access to their victim's private/personal information to perpetrate economic abuse related crimes. We also learned that seniors are particularly susceptible to economic abuse by family or household members because of their vulnerable status. Domestic economic abuse perpetrated by family or household members has a long lasting impact. It can take years to recover from the economic harm such as ruined credit that can haunt families by impacting the victim's ability to get credit, secure employment or an apartment, finance a vehicle or obtain a mortgage. By defining some of the forms of economic abuse that comprise criminal conduct as family offenses, and by granting family court concurrent jurisdiction with criminal court over these crimes, this proposal will enable victims to better address these types of offenses as family offenses. It will allow relief in the form of orders of protection for domestic abuse victims that may also be secured in family court. The legislature has always recognized that the purpose of these civil proceedings is Primarily to protect the physical and emotional safety or the victim, as well as to end the family disruption. In addition, although the courts are presently authorized to direct the return of items and documents when issuing an order of protection to further the purposes of protection, by specifically permitting the return of documents to victims of abuse this proposal will help provide meaningful relief to overcome some of the barriers to economic self-sufficiency imposed by the abuser. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill, 2013. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: None. EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately.

In making such determination, the court shall consider, but shall not be limited to consideration of, whether the order of protection is likely to achieve its purpose in the absence of such a condition, conduct subject to prior orders of protection, prior incidents of abuse, extent of past or present injury, threats, drug or alcohol abuse, and access to weapons; (b) to permit a parent, or a person entitled to visitation by a court order or a separation agreement, to visit the child at stated periods; (c) to refrain from committing a family offense, as defined in subdi- vision one of section eight hundred twelve of this act, or any criminal offense against the child or against the other parent or against any person to whom custody of the child is awarded, or from harassing, intimidating or threatening such persons; (d) to permit a designated party to enter the residence during a spec- ified period of time in order to remove personal belongings not in issue in this proceeding or in any other proceeding or action under this act or the domestic relations law; (e) to refrain from acts of commission or omission that create an unreasonable risk to the health, safety or welfare of a child; (f) to pay the reasonable counsel fees and disbursements involved in obtaining or enforcing the order of the person who is protected by such order if such order is issued or enforced; (g) to require the respondent to participate in a batterer's education program designed to help end violent behavior, which may include refer- ral to drug and alcohol counselling, and to pay the costs thereof if the person has the means to do so, provided however that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require payment of the costs of any such S. 5821 9 program by the petitioner, the state or any political subdivision there- of; [and] (h) to provide, either directly or by means of medical and health insurance, for expenses incurred for medical care and treatment arising from the incident or incidents forming the basis for the issuance of the order[.]; (i) 1. to refrain from intentionally injuring or killing, without justification, any companion animal the respondent knows to be owned, possessed, leased, kept or held by the petitioner or a minor child residing in the household. 2.

TO PROMPTLY RETURN SPECIFIED IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS TO THE PROTECTED PARTY, IN WHOSE FAVOR THE ORDER OF PROTECTION OR TEMPORARY ORDER OF PROTECTION IS ISSUED; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH ORDER MAY: (A) INCLUDE ANY APPROPRIATE PROVISION DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT ANY SUCH DOCUMENT IS AVAILABLE FOR USE AS EVIDENCE IN THIS PROCEEDING, AND AVAIL- ABLE IF NECESSARY FOR LEGITIMATE USE BY THE PARTY AGAINST WHOM SUCH ORDER IS ISSUED; AND (B) SPECIFY THE MANNER IN WHICH SUCH RETURN SHALL BE ACCOMPLISHED. 2.

The court may also award custody of the child, during the term of the order of protection to either parent, or to an appropriate relative within the second degree. Nothing in this section gives the court power to place or board out any child or to commit a child to an institution or agency. Notwithstanding the provisions of section eight hundred seventeen of this article, where a temporary order of child support has not already been issued, the court may in addition to the issuance of an order of protection pursuant to this section, issue an order for temporary child support in an amount sufficient to meet the needs of the child, without a showing of immediate or emergency need. The court shall make an order for temporary child support notwithstanding that information with respect to income and assets of the respondent may be unavailable. Where such information is available, the court may make an award for temporary child support pursuant to the formula set forth in subdivision one of section four hundred thirteen of this act. Temporary orders of support issued pursuant to this article shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to section four hundred thirteen of this act. Upon making an order for temporary child support pursuant to this subdivision, the court shall advise the petitioner of the availability S. 5821 10 of child support enforcement services by the support collection unit of the local department of social services, to enforce the temporary order and to assist in securing continued child support, and shall set the support matter down for further proceedings in accordance with article four of this act. Where the court determines that the respondent has employer-provided medical insurance, the court may further direct, as part of an order of temporary support under this subdivision, that a medical support execution be issued and served upon the respondent's employer as provided for in section fifty-two hundred forty-one of the civil prac- tice law and rules. In any proceeding in which an order of protection or temporary order of protection or a warrant has been issued under this section, the clerk of the court shall issue to the petitioner and respondent and his coun- sel and to any other person affected by the order a copy of the order of protection or temporary order of protection and ensure that a copy of the order of protection or temporary order of protection be transmitted to the local correctional facility where the individual is or will be detained, the state or local correctional facility where the individual is or will be imprisoned, and the supervising probation department or the department of corrections and community supervision where the indi- vidual is under probation or parole supervision. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, an order of protection, or temporary order of protection where applicable, may be entered against a former spouse and persons who have a child in common, regardless of whether such persons have been married or have lived together at any time, or against a member of the same family or household as defined in subdivision one of section eight hundred twelve of this article. In addition to the foregoing provisions, the court may issue an order, pursuant to section two hundred twenty-seven-c of the real property law, authorizing the party for whose benefit any order of protection has been issued to terminate a lease or rental agreement pursuant to section two hundred twenty-seven-c of the real property law.
