The child passenger safety law covers children up through age 15. Children from birth through age 8 must be in a child safety seat or booster seat, unless 4 feet 9 inches tall. Children who are 8 years old but less than sixteen years old must use a safety belt in all seating positions.

What is a Personal Protection Order (PPO)?

A personal protection order (PPO) is an order issued by the Court. It can protect you from harassment, assault, beating, molesting, wounding, or stalking by another person. The order can also prohibit him/her from entering your premises and from removing minor children unless the removal is part of Court-ordered visitation.

There are two types of PPOs:

Issued only after the other person has been notified that you have filed for a restraining order and after a Court hearing has been held.
Issued without notifying the other person and with no Court hearing. This is called an ex parte order.

To file a PPO:

An attorney is not necessary in this process.
County Clerk’s office can provide a "do-it-yourself" personal protection order packet, or you can pick up a PPO information pamphlet at out Police Department.
The packet will contain necessary forms and instruction to request a hearing.
In case of immediate danger, ask the clerk for an ex parte order form to complete.
PPO goes into effect as soon as the Judge signs it.
Clerk’s office will provide a copy to local police do that it can immediately be entered into the Law Enforcement Information Network.
