Allows for a certificate of discharge to be issued to an offender when all sentencing and financial obligations are met by the offender, thus restoring civil rights to the offender. It allows for the issuance of a discharge certificate without affecting existing “no contact” or restraining orders or prohibitions of the offender from specified locations, businesses or persons. (See also Companion HB 1002).   Official Text and Analysis.

To clarify that if the no-contact order is contained in the judgment and sentence, the eligible offender may petition the court to have a separate no-contact order issued under a new civil cause number. The new separate nocontact order must be issued for the same term and conditions as the original no-contact order contained in the judgment and sentence.
