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.
