4404          (A) a judgment is an obligation that arises out of the defendant's criminal case;
4405          (B) civil enforcement of a judgment shall be construed as a continuation of the
4406     criminal action for which the judgment arises; and
4407          (C) a judgment is criminal in nature.
4408          (ii) Civil enforcement of a judgment does not divest a defendant of an obligation
4409     imposed in a criminal action as part of the defendant's punishment for an offense.
4410          (3) (a) Notwithstanding Sections 77-18-114, 78B-2-311, and 78B-5-202, a judgment
4411     shall expire only upon payment in full, including applicable interest, collection fees, attorney
4412     fees, and liens that directly result from the judgment.

4436          (b) A court's finding under Subsection 77-38b-205(1)(a)(iii) may be used in a civil

4438     damages that are proximately caused by the defendant's criminal conduct.
4439          (c) If a conviction in a criminal trial decides the issue of a defendant's liability for
4440     pecuniary damages suffered by a victim, the issue of the defendant's liability is conclusively
4441     determined as to the defendant if the issue is involved in a subsequent civil action.
4442          (2) (a) The sentencing court shall credit any payment in favor of the victim in a civil
4443     action for the defendant's criminal conduct toward the amount of restitution owed by the
4444     defendant to the victim.
4445          (b) In a civil action, a court shall credit any restitution paid by the defendant to a victim

4458     of litigation.

4557     prosecuting attorney's best judgment there is a substantial likelihood that a conviction will be
4558     obtained and restitution will be ordered in the case, petition the court to:
4559          (a) enter a temporary restraining order, an injunction, or both;
4560          (b) require the execution of a satisfactory performance bond; or

4567          (i) there is probable cause to believe that [a crime] an offense has been committed and

4579     prosecuting attorney under this section, a court may enter a temporary restraining order against
4580     an owner with respect to specific property without notice or opportunity for a hearing if:
4581          (i) the [prosecutor] prosecuting attorney demonstrates that there is a substantial
4582     likelihood that the property with respect to which the order is sought appears to be necessary to
4583     satisfy an anticipated restitution order under this chapter; and

4585     [restitution order or judgment] judgment or order for restitution.
4586          (b) The temporary order in this Subsection (3) expires [not more than 10 days after it]

4994     court[, as provided in this section] under this section.
4995          [(2)] (3) (a) The moving party or [a court clerk] a clerk of the court shall provide a
4996     declaration outlining:

5050     sanctions is a final appealable order.
5051          Section 111. Section 78B-7-804 is amended to read:
5052          78B-7-804. Sentencing and continuous protective orders for a domestic violence
5053     offense -- Modification.
5054          (1) Before a perpetrator who has been convicted of a domestic violence offense may be
5055     placed on probation, the court shall consider the safety and protection of the victim and any
5056     member of the victim's family or household.
5057          (2) The court may condition probation or a plea in abeyance on the perpetrator's
5058     compliance with a sentencing protective order that includes:
5059          (a) an order enjoining the perpetrator from threatening to commit or committing acts of
5060     domestic violence against the victim or other family or household member;
5061          (b) an order prohibiting the perpetrator from harassing, telephoning, contacting, or
5062     otherwise communicating with the victim, directly or indirectly;
5063          (c) an order requiring the perpetrator to stay away from the victim's residence, school,
5064     place of employment, and the premises of any of these, or a specified place frequented
5065     regularly by the victim or any designated family or household member;
5066          (d) an order prohibiting the perpetrator from purchasing, using, or possessing a firearm
5067     or other specified weapon;
5068          (e) an order directing the perpetrator to surrender any weapons the perpetrator owns or
5069     possesses; and

5070          (f) an order imposing any other condition necessary to protect the victim and any other
5071     designated family or household member or to rehabilitate the perpetrator.
5072          (3) (a) Because of the serious, unique, and highly traumatic nature of domestic violence
5073     crimes, the high recidivism rate of violent offenders, and the demonstrated increased risk of
5074     continued acts of violence subsequent to the release of a perpetrator who is convicted of
5075     domestic violence, it is the finding of the Legislature that domestic violence crimes warrant the
5076     issuance of continuous protective orders under this Subsection (3) because of the need to
5077     provide ongoing protection for the victim and to be consistent with the purposes of protecting
5078     victims' rights under Title 77, Chapter 37, Victims' Rights, and Title 77, Chapter 38, Rights of
5079     Crime Victims Act, and Article I, Section 28 of the Utah Constitution.
5080          (b) If a perpetrator is convicted of a domestic violence offense resulting in a sentence
5081     of imprisonment, including jail, that is to be served after conviction, the court shall issue a
5082     continuous protective order at the time of the conviction or sentencing limiting the contact
5083     between the perpetrator and the victim unless the court determines by clear and convincing
5084     evidence that the victim does not a have a reasonable fear of future harm or abuse.
5085          (c) (i) The court shall notify the perpetrator of the right to request a hearing.
5086          (ii) If the perpetrator requests a hearing under this Subsection (3)(c), the court shall
5087     hold the hearing at the time determined by the court. The continuous protective order shall be
5088     in effect while the hearing is being scheduled and while the hearing is pending.
5089          (d) A continuous protective order is permanent in accordance with this Subsection (3)
5090     and may include:
5091          (i) an order enjoining the perpetrator from threatening to commit or committing acts of
5092     domestic violence against the victim or other family or household member;
5093          (ii) an order prohibiting the perpetrator from harassing, telephoning, contacting, or
5094     otherwise communicating with the victim, directly or indirectly;
5095          (iii) an order prohibiting the perpetrator from going to the victim's residence, school,
5096     place of employment, and the premises of any of these, or a specified place frequented
5097     regularly by the victim or any designated family or other household member;

5098          (iv) an order directing the perpetrator to pay restitution to the victim as may apply, and
5099     shall be enforced in accordance with Title 77, Chapter [38a] 38b, Crime Victims Restitution
5100     Act; and
5101          (v) any other order the court considers necessary to fully protect the victim and
5102     members of the victim's family or other household member.
5103          (4) A continuous protective order may be modified or dismissed only if the court
5104     determines by clear and convincing evidence that all requirements of Subsection (3) have been
5105     met and the victim does not have a reasonable fear of future harm or abuse.
5106          (5) In addition to the process of issuing a continuous protective order described in
5107     Subsection (3), a district court may issue a continuous protective order at any time if the victim
5108     files a petition with the court, and after notice and hearing the court finds that a continuous
5109     protective order is necessary to protect the victim.
