The bill would amend the Revised Judicature Act to authorize the family court in each county to provide a domestic violence victim advocate to assist victims of domestic violence in obtaining a personal protection order (PPO). To provide that assistance, the court could use the services of a public or private agency or organization that had a record of service to victims of domestic violence. A domestic violence victim advocate could provide all of the following assistance: informing a victim of the availability of, and assisting the victim in obtaining, serving, modifying, or rescinding a PPO; providing an interpreter for a case involving domestic violence that included a request for a PPO; and informing a victim of the availability of shelter, safety plans, counseling, other social services, and generic written materials about Michigan law. A domestic violence victim advocate could not represent or advocate for domestic violence victims in court. The bill also specifies, however, that providing assistance as a domestic violence victim advocate would not violate the Act's prohibition against the unauthorized practice of law.
