What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows a court that enjoins a person (respondent) from certain acts of

harassment, domestic abuse, or other abuse to order a wireless telephone service

provider (provider) to transfer, from the respondent to the person who requested the

injunction (petitioner), all rights to, and responsibility for, the use of telephone

numbers used by the petitioner or by his or her minor children.

The bill requires the provider to complete the transfer within 72 hours of

receiving the order, unless the account has already been terminated, the transfer

would make one or more devices inoperable or dysfunctional, or a transfer would

cause geographic or other limitations on service to the petitioner. The bill grants

immunity from civil liability to providers for their compliance with the court order.
