A previous QDVRO conviction or delinquency adjudication may be used to enhance penalties for the following crimes: violation of an order for protection, restraining order, or no contact order; stalking; domestic assault; and fifth-degree assault. The bill makes conforming changes in clause (3). This section is effective August 1, 2012, and applies to crimes committed on or after that date.
