This Act allows mayors to impose a 10-day restraining order if it appears from facts or circumstances that an individual’s presence at a residential property seriously and immediately endangers the safety of one or more people who live there. Courts can review the restraining order within three days after its commencement date. After the 10 days, the mayor may decide to extend the restraining order by another four weeks. During the 10-day period, the people involved will receive professional and governmental assistance.
