“A bill in the state Assembly is aiming to make orders of protection easier to enforce.
Assemblywoman Sarah Clark, D-Rochester, is proposing the creation of hope cards (A.5040) that contain the information and content of a final order of protection to those who want them. The cards would come at no charge to those who want them from the courts. Hope cards are a wallet-sized, laminated card that people can carry with them which hold the same validity as a traditional paper order of protection.”
