The purpose of this chapter is to recognize domestic violence and family violence as serious crimes against society, the Tribes, and the family, and to provide the victim of domestic violence or family violence the maximum protection from further violence that the law, and those who enforce the law, can provide. Furthermore, the purpose of this chapter is to recognize that the strength of the Tribes is founded on healthy families, and that the safety of victims of domestic and family violence, especially children, must be ensured by immediate intervention of law enforcement, prosecution, education, treatment, and other appropriate services.
It is the intent of the Tulalip Tribes that the official response of domestic violence and family violence shall stress the enforcement of the laws to protect the victim and to hold the perpetrator accountable, which will in turn communicate the Tribes’ policy that violent behavior against intimate partners or family members is criminal behavior and will not be excused or tolerated. This in turn will promote healing of families and the Tribes where possible, and promote cultural teachings and traditional Tribal values so as to nurture nonviolence and respect within families. This chapter shall be interpreted and applied to give it the broadest possible scope to carry out these purposes. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.1, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365)].
It is the intent of the Tulalip Board of Directors and the Tribal community that the official response to domestic violence and family violence shall be that the Tribes will not tolerate or excuse violent behavior under any circumstances. All people, whether they are elders, male, female, or children of our Tribes, or of the entire community residing on the Tulalip Reservation, are to be cherished and treated with respect.
Domestic violence and family violence are not acceptable and are contrary to traditional Tulalip Tribal culture and values of honoring the family, and are contrary to the interest of our community and sense of well-being and growth. Domestic violence and family violence will not be tolerated.
The Tribes finds that domestic violence and family violence imperil the very subsistence of the Tribal community and the residents of the Reservation. The Tribes recognizes the Department of Justice findings that one in three Native women is sexually assaulted in her lifetime and that 70 percent of reported assaults are committed by non-Native men against Native women. A community response to domestic and family violence is necessary because domestic and family violence crimes and incidents impact the community as a whole. These crimes redirect Tribal resources – whether personnel, financial, public safety or other resources – elsewhere and require an immediate response. As a result of this impact on Tribal resources, the Tribes deems it necessary to address domestic violence and family violence to the fullest extent permitted by laws existing now or as may be adopted or amended in the future.
The Tribes further recognizes that there is a distinction between intimate partner domestic violence and family member violence. Domestic violence involves an intimate partner relationship and dynamics of power and control are overwhelmingly present in the action. Family violence is committed against all other family or household members. Both are reprehensible actions that require specialized recognition and enhanced provisions than what might be otherwise available to victims of crimes, or remedies available in civil actions. [Res. 2013-379].
Jurisdiction over domestic and family violence matters shall be in accordance with TTC Title 2. In addition, the Tulalip Tribal Court shall retain jurisdiction over members of Federally recognized Indian tribes and any violations of orders of protection entered pursuant to this chapter which are alleged to have occurred outside of the boundaries of the Tulalip Indian Reservation where such orders are entitled to recognition outside Reservation boundaries as a matter of full faith and credit. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.2, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.020].

(e) The domestic violence program or other services provider shall submit written progress reports to the Court at least every six calendar weeks. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.10, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.100].
(3) Order appropriate domestic violence perpetrator’s treatment.
(a) For the purposes of this section, a domestic violence perpetrators’ treatment intake assessment should include the following considerations: an official copy of current and past criminal history; all violence history whether or not it resulted in a conviction; family and cultural issues; substance abuse issues; and a treatment plan that adequately and appropriately addresses the treatment needs of the individual. The intake may not be based solely on the defendant’s self-report and the evaluator must make reasonable efforts to contact the victim. The defendant must sign privacy releases for the evaluator to obtain any confidential information that is necessary to the evaluation.
(b) Satisfactory completion of domestic violence treatment required under this section must be based on meeting treatment goals, not merely the completion of a certain period of time or certain number of sessions. The treatment must focus on ending the violence and holding the defendant accountable for his or her behavior. The treatment must include education about the individual, family, and cultural dynamics of domestic violence. Treatment must include education about the effects of domestic violence on children. The defendant must sign privacy releases for the treatment provider to obtain any confidential information that is necessary to the treatment. The defendant must also sign a release for the treatment provider to provide information to the Prosecutor or probation office in order to monitor compliance with the Court order.
(4) In the Court’s discretion, order any other lawful relief as it deems necessary for the protection of any claimed, alleged or potential victim of domestic violence or family violence, including orders or directives to the Tulalip Police Department. [Res. 2013-379].
(1) Upon conviction of a crime of domestic violence, the perpetrator shall be required to complete the Tulalip Tribes’ domestic violence perpetrator’s treatment or one approved by the Court.
(2) Upon conviction of a crime involving family violence, the perpetrator shall be required to complete a Tulalip Tribes perpetrator’s intake assessment to determine whether treatment is appropriate and follow all recommendations.
(3) Within the Court’s discretion, the defendant may be excluded from the Tulalip Indian Reservation consistent with Chapter 2.40 TTC.
(4) Within the Court’s discretion, the Court may order publication of the perpetrator’s name and photograph in the Tulalip Tribes See-Yaht-Sub newspaper described as a domestic violence or family violence perpetrator.
(5) Within the Court’s discretion, it may order any combination of such confinement, exclusion, publication, and fine.
(c) Costs incurred by the Tulalip Tribes for exclusion of the convicted person.
(7) If the defendant is not a Tribal member, the Court shall reduce the restitution and costs to a judgment and shall send to collections. Attorney fees and costs of collections shall be added onto the judgment. [Res. 2013-379].
(d) The offense occurred within sight or sound of the victim’s or the offender’s minor children.
(a) The defendant’s criminal history, if any, that occurred under the law of the Tulalip Tribes, any state, Federal, territory, possession, tribe or United States military tribunal.
(b) For the purposes of subsection (2)(a) of this section, criminal history includes all previous convictions and orders of deferred prosecution and stipulated orders of continuance (SOC), as otherwise available to the Court or Prosecutor, before the date of sentencing. [Res. 2013-379].
(c) Other means of securing the witness’s presence at trial have proved futile.
(2) The Tulalip Tribes declares that protection of domestic violence and family violence victim-witnesses is a substantial and compelling interest of the Tulalip Tribes. When abuse is prosecuted, a domestic violence or a family violence victim-witness may suffer serious emotional and mental trauma from exposure to the abuser or from testifying in open court. The creation of procedural devices designed to enhance the truth-seeking process and to shield domestic violence or family violence victim-witnesses from the trauma of exposure to the abuser and the courtroom is a compelling Tribal interest.
(d) The witness whose statement is being offered is subject to cross-examination when giving the subsequent statement. [Res. 2013-379].
This section provides for the designation of a crime as domestic violence (DV) or family violence (FV), which gives notice that the Tribes may seek additional conditions at sentencing. Any crime as defined by TTC Title 3 or within this chapter is considered domestic violence if committed against a current or former intimate partner, or family violence if against a family or household member, and is subject to the provisions of this chapter.
The designation of domestic violence or family violence should not be removed as part of a plea bargain. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.6, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365)].
Any person who prevents or attempts to prevent a victim or witness of domestic violence or family violence from calling 911 or the Tulalip Tribal Police or other law enforcement agency, or from obtaining medical assistance or making a report to any Tribal, State or Federal law enforcement official, has committed the crime of interfering with the reporting of domestic violence or family violence.
Interfering with the reporting of domestic violence or family violence is a Class E offense. [Res. 2013-379].
Any person who prevents or attempts to prevent a witness from testifying in a Court proceeding, or otherwise impedes the prosecution of a case involving domestic violence or family violence, has committed the crime of interfering with the prosecution of domestic violence or family violence.

(1) Hearing Dates, Continuances, Sentencing. The Prosecutor shall assure that the victim is informed of all hearing dates and continuances and of the right to address the Court at any hearing, in person or in writing, regarding the various impacts of the criminal offense on the victim, the risk of further acts of domestic violence or family violence, and the conditions of sentence necessary to ensure the safety of the victim and the victim’s family and household members.
(2) Prosecutorial Decisions. The Prosecutor shall inform the victim of every major prosecutorial decision, including a decision to decline prosecution of the crime, to dismiss the charges, or to enter into a plea agreement, within five Court days of the decision and should include available resources for the victim.
(3) Restitution. The Prosecutor shall obtain information from the victim regarding costs and losses sustained as a result of the defendant’s act(s) of domestic violence or family violence and shall seek restitution for the victim. [Res. 2013-379].
The Tulalip Tribes does not favor dismissal of domestic violence or family violence charges, thus when the Prosecutor moves to dismiss a domestic violence or family violence charge against a defendant, the Prosecutor shall provide specific reasons for the dismissal to the Court. If the dismissal is based on the unavailability of the alleged victim or any witness, the Prosecutor shall indicate why such person(s) are unavailable and why the case cannot be prosecuted without the individuals. [Res. 2013-379].
(1) A Police Officer shall arrest without a warrant and take into custody any person who the Police Officer has probable cause to believe has willfully violated a no contact order issued under TTC 4.25.250(2).
(2) All provisions of an order issued under TTC 4.25.250(2) shall remain in full force and effect until the order terminates or is modified by the Court.
(3) Willful violation of a no contact order subjects the defendant to criminal penalties under this chapter. Any defendant who is found guilty of violating the terms of a no contact order may also, subject to the Court’s discretion, be held in contempt of court, and the Court may impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate.
(a) Violation of a no contact order is a Class E offense.
(b) A third or subsequent violation of a no contact order is a Class F offense.
(c) Consent is not a defense to a violation of a domestic violence no contact order. [Res. 2013-379].
(1) A Police Officer shall arrest without a warrant and take into custody any person who the Police Officer has probable cause to believe has willfully violated an order issued under TTC 4.25.470.
(2) All provisions of an order issued under TTC 4.25.470 shall remain in full force and effect until the order terminates or is modified by the Court.
(3) Willful violation of any domestic violence protection order subjects the respondent to criminal penalties under this chapter. Any respondent who is found guilty of violating the terms of a domestic violence protection order may also, subject to the Court’s discretion, be held in contempt of court, and the Court may impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate.
(a) Violation of a domestic violence protection order is a Class E offense.
(b) A third or subsequent violation of a domestic violence protection order is a Class F offense.
(c) Consent is not a defense to a charge of violation of a domestic violence protection order. [Res. 2013-379].
(b) Under subsection (1)(c)(ii) of this section, that the stalker did not intend to frighten, intimidate, or harass the person.
(3) Attempts to contact or follow the person after being given actual notice that the person does not want to be contacted or followed constitute prima facie evidence that the stalker intends to intimidate or harass the person.
(f) The stalker’s victim is a current, former, or prospective witness in an adjudicative proceeding, and the stalker stalked the victim to retaliate against the victim as a result of the victim’s testimony or potential testimony.
(a) “Follows” means deliberately maintaining visual or physical proximity to a specific person over a period of time. A finding that the alleged stalker repeatedly and deliberately appears at the person’s home, school, place of employment, business, or any other location to maintain visual or physical proximity to the person is sufficient to find that the alleged stalker follows the person. It is not necessary to establish that the alleged stalker follows the person while in transit from one location to another.
(b) “Harasses” for the purpose of this section means engaging in a knowing and willful course of conduct directed at a specific person that seriously alarms, annoys, or is detrimental to such person, and that serves no legitimate or lawful purpose. The course of conduct shall be such as would cause a reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress, and shall actually cause substantial emotional distress to the victim, or, when the course of conduct is contact by a person over age 18 of a minor child, that would cause a reasonable parent to fear for the well-being of that child.
(c) “Protective order” means any temporary or permanent Court order prohibiting or limiting violence against, harassment of, contact or communication with, or physical proximity to another person, including but not limited to a domestic violence protection order issued pursuant to TTC 4.25.480, no contact order issued pursuant to TTC 4.25.250(2), sexual assault protection order pursuant to TTC 4.25.850 or any successor codes to these sections.

If requested by the victim, and if the presence of the advocate does not cause any unnecessary delay in the investigation or prosecution of the case, an advocate of the victim’s choosing shall be present at any interview with the victim and at any judicial proceeding related to criminal acts committed against the victim. [Res. 2013-379].
(2) The right to reasonable, accurate, and timely notice of any public Court proceeding, or any probation proceeding, involving the crime or of any release or escape of the accused.
(4) The right to be reasonably heard at any public proceeding in Court involving release, plea, sentencing, or any parole proceeding.
(5) The reasonable right to confer with the Prosecutor in the case.
(9) The victim has the right to provide a victim impact statement.
A victim impact statement is a written or oral statement given to the sentencing judge by the victim. Such statements may include the impact of the crime on the victim, and how the crime affected the victim psychologically, financially, and physically. The Prosecutor shall assist the victim to provide this statement. The Court shall make all reasonable efforts to accommodate the participation of the victim at the sentencing hearing, being mindful of the unique emotional and psychological barriers victims may experience when facing a perpetrator in Court. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.15, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.150].
Any person with two or more convictions for crimes of domestic violence or family violence shall be deemed an habitual domestic violence or family violence offender and any subsequent violation shall be a class “F” offense, except where inconsistent with Federal laws. [Res. 2013-379].
Any written or verbal threat or any assault upon a person acting in an official or professional capacity in the protection of victims of domestic violence or family violence, sexual assault, stalking or dating violence shall be considered to be an assault of the most serious nature and a Class E offense. [Res. 2013-379].
Upon violation of a judgment and sentencing order, the Court may modify, reduce, or enlarge the conditions of probation at any time prior to the expiration or termination of the term of probation and the provisions applicable to the initial setting of the conditions of probation. However, the Court may not set aside or modify the requirement to complete domestic violence perpetrator’s treatment without notice to the Prosecutor and a hearing. [Res. 2013-379].
The Court shall direct that the probation officer provide the defendant with a written statement that sets forth all the conditions to which the sentence is subject, and that is sufficiently clear and specific to serve as a guide for the defendant’s conduct and for such supervision as is required. This statement shall be signed and dated by defendant when received. [Res. 2013-379].
(1) Whenever a Police Officer has grounds under TTC 4.25.150 or 4.25.200 to arrest a person who is a juvenile, the officer shall arrest the juvenile as provided in this chapter, and the provisions of this chapter shall govern the arrest and all subsequent proceedings.
(c) Any other suitable place approved by the Court and/or beda?chelh.
(3) All civil and criminal proceedings against a juvenile under this chapter shall be within the jurisdiction of the Tribal Court rather than the Juvenile Court.
(4) The arrest and prosecution of a juvenile under this chapter does not bar proceedings in an appropriate Juvenile Court.
(5) A petition for a protection order under TTC 4.25.470 may be filed against a juvenile who is alleged to have committed an act of domestic violence, and the provisions of this chapter shall govern all subsequent proceedings in the action. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.9, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.090].
Purpose. A person may seek a protection order whether or not the person has contacted law enforcement officers to report a crime, but such persons should be referred to law enforcement officers in the event that crime has been committed. It is the policy of the Tribes that temporary protection orders may be issued without prior notice to the respondent to ensure the immediate protection of the victim and any family or household member, and to prevent further violence. Orders may be modified or extended, with or without prior notice to the respondent or a hearing, consistent with this purpose. Relief under this chapter may not be denied or delayed on the grounds that the relief is available in another action. [Res. 2013-379].
(d) Any person acting in an official capacity in the protection of domestic violence, family violence, dating violence or stalking survivors including but not limited to Legacy of Healing staff, elder abuse case managers or advocates, Child Advocacy Center, therapists, beda?chelh case managers on behalf of a child, or other advocate acting in a professional capacity. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.11, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.110(1)(a)].
(1) A petition shall allege the existence of domestic violence, family violence, dating violence, or stalking, and shall be supported by an affidavit made under oath stating the specific facts and circumstances justifying the requested order.
(2) A petition may be filed regardless of the pendency of any other civil or criminal proceeding related to the allegations in the petition.
(3) No filing fee shall be required for the filing of a petition under this section. If an alleged perpetrator has been arrested for the offense of domestic violence, family violence, dating violence or stalking, the Court or the arresting Police Officer shall advise the alleged victim of the right to file a petition under this section without cost.
(4) The petitioner, or the victim on whose behalf a petition has been filed, is not required to file for annulment, separation, or divorce as a prerequisite to obtaining a protection order. However, the petition shall state whether any other action is pending between the petitioner or victim and the respondent.
(5) The Court shall make available standard, simplified petition forms and instructional brochures with instructions for completion. The Tulalip Police Department and the Tribal Court shall make such forms available upon request to victims of domestic violence, family violence, dating violence, or stalking.
(6) Once a petition has been filed, the Court Clerk shall conduct a criminal background check according to Court policy and attach the report(s) to the petition. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.11, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.110(1)(b) – (f)].
(1) Immediately grant an ex parte protection order without bond if, based on the specific facts stated in the affidavit, the Court has probable cause to believe that the petitioner or the person on whose behalf the petition has been filed is the victim of an act of domestic violence, family violence, dating violence, or stalking committed by the respondent, and issuance of the ex parte order is necessary to protect the victim from further abuse.
(2) Cause an ex parte protection order, together with notice of hearing, to be made immediately available to the petitioner for service by a Police Officer, Court Officer, or other authorized person.
(3) The Court may hold the record open and request additional information if the submitted information is insufficient at the time of filing. The record must be completed within 72 hours and at that time the order granted or denied.
(4) Hold a hearing within 14 days after the granting of the ex parte temporary protection order to determine whether the temporary order should be vacated, extended, or modified in any respect, or made a permanent order of protection with or without an expiration date.
(a) At the hearing, both parties may testify, and the Court will review the record and may consider other relevant evidence. Copies of any writings, declarations, affidavits or other documentary evidence entered as exhibits must be provided to the other party. Rules of evidence may be relaxed in these proceedings and testimony is not required.
(5) Once granted, the protection order may not be dismissed without a Court hearing.
(6) If an ex parte order is not granted, serve notice upon both parties to appear in Tribal Court and hold a hearing on the petition for protection order within 72 hours after the filing of the petition; if notice of hearing cannot be personally served, notice shall be provided consistent with TTC Title 2. [Res. 2015-307; Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.11, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.110(2)].
(1) Restraining the respondent from committing acts of domestic violence, family violence, dating violence, or stalking.

(4) Awarding temporary custody or establishing temporary visitation rights with regard to minor children of the respondent on a basis that gives primary consideration to the safety of the claimed victim of domestic violence and the minor children.
(a) In every proceeding where there is at issue a dispute as to the custody of a minor child, a determination by the Court that domestic violence or family violence has occurred raises a rebuttable presumption that it is detrimental to the child and not in the best interest of the child to be placed in sole custody, joint legal custody, or joint physical custody with the perpetrator of domestic violence or family violence.
(b) In every proceeding where there is at issue a dispute as to the custody of a minor child, a determination by the Court that domestic violence, family violence, sexual assault, or stalking has occurred raises a rebuttable presumption that it is in the best interest of the child to reside with the parent who is not a perpetrator of domestic violence, family violence, sexual assault, or stalking in the location of that parent’s choice.
(c) In every proceeding where there is at issue the modification of an order for custody or visitation of a minor child, the finding that domestic violence, family violence, sexual assault, or stalking has occurred since the last custody determination constitutes a finding of a change in circumstances.
(d) If the Court finds that the safety of the claimed victim or the minor children will be jeopardized by unsupervised or unrestricted visitation, the Court shall set forth conditions or restrict visitation as to the time, place, duration, or supervision, or deny visitation entirely, as needed, to guard the safety of the claimed victim and the minor children.
(e) In determining custody and/or visitation, the Court must consider the perpetrator’s history of causing physical harm, bodily injury, assault, or causing reasonable fear of physical harm, bodily injury, or assault to another person.
(f) If a parent is absent or relocated because of an act of domestic violence or family violence by the other parent, the absence or relocation is not a factor that weighs against the parent in determining custody or visitation.
(g) Any temporary custody order shall provide for child support and temporary support for the person having custody of the children, in amounts deemed proper by the Court.
(vii) Impose any other condition that is deemed necessary to provide for the safety of the minor child, the victim of domestic violence or family violence, or other family or household member.
(i) Whether or not visitation is allowed, the Court may order the address of the minor child and the victim to be kept confidential.
(j) The Court may refer but may not order an adult who is a victim of domestic violence or family violence to attend counseling relating to the victim’s status or behavior as a victim, as a condition of receiving custody of a minor child or as a condition of visitation.
(k) If the Court allows a family or household member to supervise visitation, the Court must establish, in writing, conditions to be followed during visitation.
(l) The Court shall notify the restrained party that the willful violation of any provision of the protection order is a criminal offense and punishable by imprisonment and/or a fine.
(5) Ordering temporary guardianship with regard to an elderly or vulnerable adult victim of domestic violence, family violence, sexual assault, or stalking if necessary for the safety of the elderly or vulnerable adult until the matter can be addressed through an action pursuant to Chapter 4.30 TTC.
(6) Awarding temporary use and possession of property of the respondent.
(7) Restraining one or both parties during the pendency of the action from transferring, encumbering, concealing, or disposing of property except as authorized by the Court and requiring that an accounting shall be made to the Court for all such transfers, encumbrances, dispositions, and expenditures.
(8) Ordering the respondent to timely pay any existing debts of the petitioner, including mortgage or rental payments, necessary to maintain the claimed victim in his/her residence.
(9) Describing any prior orders of the Court relating to domestic matters which are superseded or altered by the protection order.
(10) Notifying the parties that the willful violation of any provision of the order constitutes contempt of court punishable by a fine or imprisonment or both and constitutes a violation of this code for which civil penalties may be assessed.
(11) If the victim or alleged victim is awarded temporary use of the house and is listed on the rental agreement, the landlord, including Tribal housing, shall at the request of the petitioner change the locks within 24 business hours of issuance of the order.
(12) Ordering law enforcement to assist the victim in removing essential personal effects from a shared home.
(13) Order that the respondent may not come within 500 feet of the Legacy of Healing building or safe house, regardless of whether the victim is there.
(14) Ordering, in the Court’s discretion, any other lawful relief as it deems necessary for the protection of any claimed or potential victim of domestic violence or family violence, including orders or directives to the Tulalip Police Department. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.11, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.110(3)].
(1) The provisions of the order shall remain in effect for the period of time stated in the order, not to exceed one year unless extended by the Court at the request of any party or at the request of the Legacy of Healing program.
(2) The Court in its discretion may upon request of either party or the Legacy of Healing program modify a protection order.
(3) By the Petitioner. Before the Court may modify or reconsider a protection order at the request of the petitioner, if children live in the home, the Court may require petitioner to attend a domestic violence support group, with a session focused on the effects of domestic violence on children.
(4) By the Respondent. Before the Court may modify or reconsider a protection order at the request of the respondent, he or she shall provide the Court with all pertinent documents, affidavits, compliance forms or any other information required by the Court for either reconsideration or modification of protection orders. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.11, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.110(4)].
Temporary protection orders are to be served personally upon the respondent by a Police Officer, officer of the Court, or other authorized person within 48 hours if possible. If the respondent cannot be located, the order shall be mailed by certified mail with return receipt requested and regular mail to the respondent’s last known address. If by the first Court hearing service is not achieved, then notice shall be issued by publication in accordance with Chapter 2.10 TTC. If respondent has been served with notice of the hearing and fails to appear, the petitioner has no further requirement to serve the respondent with the final order entered by the Court at the hearing. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.12, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365)].
Every protection order issued pursuant to this chapter shall be forwarded by fax or email by the Clerk of Courts within 24 hours to the Tulalip Tribes Police Department, Tulalip Tribes Prosecutor’s Office, or any other necessary jurisdiction for entry into the National and State Data Systems. [Res. 2018-325; Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.17, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.170].

(1) Violation of a protection order is a Class E offense.
(2) The third or subsequent violation of a protection order is a Class F offense.
(3) Consent is not a defense to a charge of violation of a protection order. [Res. 2013-379].
Purpose. It shall be the purpose of this section to prohibit any person who has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor crime of domestic violence, family violence, sexual assault, stalking, or dating violence, as defined under the laws of the Tulalip Tribes; who is subject to a protection order based upon a finding that the person represents a credible threat to the physical safety of the victim; who is subject to a criminal no contact order entered in Tulalip Tribal Court or any court of competent jurisdiction; who has been found mentally incompetent to stand trial; or who has been committed for mental health reasons after a domestic violence, family violence, sexual assault, stalking, or dating violence offense, from possessing a firearm or ammunition.
(iii) By its terms explicitly prohibits the use, attempted use or threatened use of physical force against such household or family member.
(b) Has been convicted under the law of any state, territory, possession, tribe, or United States military tribunal of any crime involving domestic violence or family violence, as defined by the laws of the Tulalip Tribes, which involved the use or attempted use of physical force, or the threatened use of physical force, or the threatened use of a deadly weapon against an intimate partner or family member as defined by this chapter.
(2) Violation of this section is a Class F offense pursuant to Chapter 3.50 TTC and may result in exclusion from the Tulalip Indian Reservation as defined within Chapter 2.40 TTC. Any violations of related domestic violence or family violence sentences in this section or any violations of other sections of this chapter shall be served consecutively. [Res. 2018-325; Res. 2017-327; Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.14, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.140].
Whenever practical, the Court shall provide a secure waiting area or bailiff supervision prior to and during Court proceedings for a victim, and his or her family, of domestic violence, family violence, sexual assault, dating violence, or stalking, which will not require them to be in close proximity to the defendant or their families or friends. [Res. 2013-379].
A public agency may not charge a fee for filing or preparation of certified, authenticated, or exemplified copies to a person entitled to protection who seeks relief under this chapter or to a foreign prosecutor or a foreign law enforcement agency seeking to enforce a protection order. A person entitled to protection and foreign prosecutors or law enforcement agencies must be provided the necessary number of certified, authenticated, or exemplified copies at no cost. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.26, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.260].
(1) Any disputes regarding provisions in foreign protection orders dealing with custody of children, residential placement of children, or visitation with children shall be resolved judicially. The proper venue and jurisdiction for such judicial proceedings shall be determined in accordance with Chapter 4.20 TTC or its successor, the Uniform Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, and be in accordance with the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act, 28 U.S.C. 1738A.
(b) There is probable cause to believe that the child is abused or neglected and the child would be injured or could not be taken into custody if it were necessary to first obtain a Court order pursuant to Chapter 4.05 TTC. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.27, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.270].
Mediation is not allowed if a protection order is in effect unless mediation is requested by the victim of the alleged domestic violence after consultation with counsel or an advocate, and is provided by a certified mediator who is trained in domestic violence in a specialized manner intended to protect the safety of victims. The victim is permitted to have a support person of his or her choice, including but not limited to a Legacy of Healing advocate or other person, in attendance at the mediation. [Res. 2013-379].
Purpose. Victims of domestic violence are often forced to flee from a perpetrator in order to avoid future danger and violence. In so fleeing, victims who are employed frequently miss days of employment and employers sometimes respond by terminating or disciplining such employees. It is the purpose of this chapter to preclude all Reservation employers from terminating any employee who can document within 14 days an instance of domestic abuse which contributed to his/her absence from employment. Employers have the option of granting such employees leave with or without pay because of domestic violence related absences. Absences are not to exceed 12 weeks.
(5) Participate in safety planning, temporarily or permanently relocate, or take other actions to increase the safety of the employee or employee’s family members from future domestic violence or family violence, sexual assault, stalking, or dating violence. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.16, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.160].
It shall be a violation of this chapter for any employer located within the exterior boundaries of the Tulalip Reservation to terminate or otherwise discipline any employee who has missed work or is tardy to work when such employee demonstrates, either through the filing of criminal or civil proceedings in a court of law or by such other method satisfactory to the employer, that he/she has been the victim of domestic violence, family violence, sexual assault, stalking or dating violence, and that such violence contributed to his/her absence(s) from work or tardiness to work. In lieu of disciplinary action, the employer shall grant the employee leave with or without pay, dependent upon the policies of the employer, for such absences. [Res. 2013-379].
Any employer who willfully violates this article shall be subject to a maximum civil penalty of up to $1,000 payable to the Tribes in addition to any other remedies the wrongfully discharged employee may have against the employer. Nothing in this article shall preclude a private party from commencing a wrongful termination action against an employer for violation of this article. Any funds collected for a violation of this article shall be used for the Legacy of Healing Safe House. [Res. 2013-379].
Safe houses for victims of domestic violence, family violence, sexual assault, stalking, or dating violence are essential to provide protection to victims from further abuse and physical harm, as well as to help victims find long-range alternative living situations if requested. Safe houses provide safety, refuge, advocacy, and helping resources to victims and their children, who may not have access to such resources if they remain in abusive situations. [Res. 2013-379].
(1) Make available safe house services to any person who is a victim of domestic violence, family violence, sexual assault, stalking, or dating violence and to that person’s children.
(2) Provide prevention and treatment programs to victims of domestic violence, family violence, sexual assault, stalking, or dating violence and their children.
(3) Provide a day program or drop-in center to assist victims of domestic violence, family violence, sexual assault, stalking, or dating violence who have found other safe housing but who need support services. [Res. 2013-379].
The Legacy of Healing shall provide Tulalip Tribal Police with an after-hours contact number and/or person. [Res. 2013-379].
(d) The Court enters an order stating whether the records or any part of the records are discoverable and setting forth the basis for the Court’s findings; provided, that such a release does not violate the Violence Against Women Act codified at 18 U.S.C. 2265 and any subsequent act or amendment.
(2) For purposes of this section, “domestic violence program” means the Legacy of Healing program, or a program that provides a safe house, advocacy, or counseling services for victims of domestic violence or family violence, stalking or dating violence.
(3) For purposes of this section, “sexual assault program” means the Legacy of Healing program, or a program that provides safe house, advocacy, or counseling services for victims of sexual assault.
(4) Client records subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act are excluded from this section. [Res. 2013-379].
(6) Persons who are subject to a protection order whether civil or criminal as a respondent or defendant. [Res. 2013-379].
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to ensure compliance with the full faith and credit provision of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) as set forth in 18 U.S.C. 2265, as it may be amended from time to time, and to ensure that victims of domestic violence are able to move across State and Tribal boundaries without losing the ability to enforce protection orders they have previously obtained to increase their safety.
A foreign protection order is valid if the issuing court had jurisdiction over the parties and matter under the law of the state, territory, possession, Indian tribe, or United States military tribunal.
A person under restraint must be given reasonable notice and the opportunity to be heard before the protection order of the foreign state, territory, possession, Indian tribe or United States military tribunal was issued. In the case of an ex parte order, notice and opportunity to be heard must have been provided within a reasonable time after the order was issued, consistent with due process. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.21, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.210].
(1) A person entitled to protection who has a valid foreign protection order may file that order by presenting a certified, authenticated, or exemplified copy of the foreign protection order to a Clerk of the Tulalip Tribal Court. Any out-of-state department, agency, or court responsible for maintaining protection order records may by facsimile or electronic transmission send a reproduction of the foreign protection order to the Clerk of the Court as long as it contains a facsimile or digital signature by any person authorized to make such transmission.
(2) There shall be a presumption in favor of validity where a protection order appears authentic on its face.
(3) Filing of a foreign protection order with a court and entry of the foreign protection order into any computer-based criminal intelligence information system available in this State used by law enforcement agencies to list outstanding warrants are not prerequisites for enforcement of the foreign protection order.
(4) The Court shall accept the filing of a foreign protection order without a fee or cost.
(5) The Clerk of the Court shall provide information to a person entitled to protection of the availability of domestic violence, family violence, sexual abuse, stalking and dating violence or other services to victims in the community.
(k) An inability to answer any of the above questions does not preclude the filing or enforcement of a foreign protection order.
(7) The Clerk of the Court shall provide the person entitled to protection with a copy bearing proof of filing with the Court.
(8) Any assistance provided by the Clerk under this section does not constitute the practice of law. The Clerk is not liable for any incomplete or incorrect information that he or she is provided. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.22, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.220].
(1) The Clerk of the Court shall forward a copy of a foreign protection order that is filed under this chapter on or before the next judicial day to the Tulalip Tribes Police Department and County Sheriff along with the completed information form. The Clerk may forward the foreign protection order to the County Sheriff by facsimile or electronic transmission. Upon receipt of the filed foreign protection order, the Tulalip Police Department shall immediately enter the foreign protection order into any computer-based criminal intelligence information system available, listing outstanding warrants. The foreign protection order must remain in the computer for the period stated in the order. The Tulalip Police Department shall only expunge from the computer-based criminal intelligence information system foreign protection orders that are expired, vacated, or superseded. Entry into the computer-based intelligence information system constitutes notice to all law enforcement agencies of the existence of the foreign protection order. The foreign protection order is fully enforceable in any county in the State.
(2) The information entered into other computer-based criminal intelligence information systems must include, if available, notice to law enforcement whether the foreign protection order was served and the method of service. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.23, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.230].
(1) Whenever a foreign protection order is granted to a person entitled to protection and the person under restraint knows of the foreign protection order, a violation of a provision prohibiting the person under restraint from contacting or communicating with another person, or of a provision excluding the person from a residence, workplace, school, or daycare, or of a provision prohibiting a person from knowingly coming within, or knowingly remaining within, a specified distance of a location, or a violation of any provision for which a foreign protection order specifically indicates that a violation will be a crime, shall subject the person to the same penalties as if the order were issued by the Tulalip Tribal Court in TTC 4.25.470.
(2) Upon conviction, and in addition to any other penalties provided by law, the Court may require the person under restraint to submit to electronic monitoring (Global Positioning System (GPS) or similar). The Court shall specify who will provide the electronic monitoring services, and the terms under which the monitoring will be performed. The order also may include a requirement that the person under restraint pay the costs of the monitoring. The Court shall consider the ability of the convicted person to pay for electronic monitoring.
(3) A peace officer shall arrest without a warrant and take into custody a person when the peace officer has probable cause to believe that a foreign protection order has been issued of which the person under restraint has knowledge and the person under restraint has violated a provision of the foreign protection order for which the foreign protection order specifically indicates that a violation will be a crime. Presence of the order in the law enforcement computer-based criminal intelligence information system is not the only means of establishing knowledge of the order. [Res. 2014-116; Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.24, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.240].
No Police Officer, peace officer, or officer’s legal advisor shall be held criminally or civilly liable for making an arrest under this chapter if the Police Officer, peace officer, or the officer’s legal advisor acted in good faith and without malice. [Res. 2013-379; Ord. 117 § 1.25, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.250].
Purpose. The Tulalip Tribes finds that the prevention of harassment is important to the health, safety and general welfare of the Tribal community. This chapter is intended to provide victims with a speedy and inexpensive method of obtaining civil harassment protection orders preventing all further unwanted contact between the victim and the perpetrator. [Res. 2013-379; Res. 2004-232; Ord. 117 § 1.29.B, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.300].
For the purpose of this section, “harassment protection order” means a Court order restricting a person from harassing, threatening, contacting, or approaching another specified person for a period of time. [Res. 2013-379].
For the purpose of this section, “temporary harassment protection order” means a Court order restricting a person from harassing, threatening, contacting, or approaching another specified person not longer than 14 days. [Res. 2013-379].
(1) A petition to obtain an harassment protection order under this section may be filed by any person claiming to be the victim of harassment or made by a parent, guardian, or beda?chelh if the child is a ward of the Court, on behalf of the child.
(a) A petition for relief may be made regardless of whether or not there is a pending lawsuit, criminal complaint, petition, or other action between the parties, except that a parent may not petition for an harassment protection order on behalf of his or her child against the child’s other parent. Petitioner and respondent shall disclose the existence of any other litigation or of any other restraining, protection, or no contact orders between the parties. [Res. 2013-379; Res. 2004-232; Ord. 117 § 1.29.D, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.320].
(1) A petition for relief shall allege the existence of harassment and shall be accompanied by a statement made under penalty of perjury stating the specific facts and circumstances from which relief is sought.
(2) The Court shall make simplified petition forms and instructional brochures available. Any information provided by clerks under this section does not constitute the practice of law and clerks are not responsible for incorrect information contained in a petition.
(3) Civil filing fees shall apply for filing of a petition under this section, unless the Court makes a finding upon due inquiry that the petitioner lacks the financial resources to pay filing fees.
(4) No bond is required to obtain relief in any proceeding under this section.
(5) The parent, guardian of a child under age 18, or beda?chelh if the child is a ward of the Court may petition for an harassment protection order to restrain a person age 18 years or over from contact with that child upon a showing that contact with the person to be restrained is detrimental to the welfare of the child. [Res. 2013-379; Res. 2004-232; Ord. 117 § 1.29.D, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.320(2), (3), (5) – (7)].
(1) Upon filing a petition for an harassment protection order under this section, the petitioner may obtain an ex parte temporary harassment protection order with or without serving notice upon the respondent by filing a statement made under penalty of perjury which, to the satisfaction of the Court, shows evidence of harassment of the petitioner by the respondent, and that continued harassment may result if the temporary harassment protection order is not granted.
(2) An ex parte temporary harassment protection order shall be effective for a fixed period not to exceed 14 days. A full hearing, as provided in this chapter, shall be set for not later than 14 days from the issuance of the temporary order. The respondent shall be personally served with a copy of the ex parte temporary harassment protection order along with a copy of the petition and notice of the date set for the hearing. If service is not possible, the Court may authorize service according to Chapter 2.10 TTC or its successor code. [Res. 2014-222; Res. 2013-379; Res. 2004-232; Ord. 117 § 1.29.E, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.330(1), (2)].
(1) At the hearing within 14 calendar days after the granting of the ex parte harassment protection order, a permanent order shall be issued prohibiting such harassment if the Court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that harassment exists or has occurred. Otherwise, the temporary harassment protection order shall expire on its own terms. If the respondent does not appear, the petitioner must demonstrate that he or she effected proper service, and a default judgment will be entered.
(2) An order issued under this section shall be effective for not more than one year unless the Court finds that any future contact with petitioner would result in the harm from which the petitioner originally sought protection. If the Court so finds, the Court may enter an order to a fixed time exceeding one year or may enter a permanent harassment protection order.
(3) In the event that a respondent fails to appear for a hearing and the petitioner cannot demonstrate service upon him or her, the Court may grant a second ex parte temporary harassment protection order to the same petitioner enjoining the same respondent and order alternate service according to Chapter 2.10 TTC or its successor code. If an officer investigates an alleged violation of an order issued pursuant to this chapter and service has not been effected prior to contact, the officer shall provide service as described herein and within the next day file proof of service with the Court.
(4) At any time within three months prior to the expiration of the order, the petitioner may apply for a renewal of the order by filing a motion for renewal with the Court. The motion for renewal shall state the reasons why he or she seeks to renew the order. Upon receipt of the motion for renewal, the Court shall order a hearing which shall be held within 14 days from the date of motion. The Court shall grant the motion for renewal unless the respondent proves by preponderance of evidence that he will not resume harassment of the petitioner when the order expires. The Court may renew the harassment protection order for another fixed period or may enter a permanent order.
(a) Restraining the respondent from making attempts to contact the petitioner and all persons listed in the petition.
(b) Restraining the respondent from making any attempts to monitor the petitioner by actual or electronic surveillance.
(c) Requiring the respondent to stay a specified minimum distance from the petitioner’s residence, workplace, and/or school. [Res. 2013-379; Res. 2004-232; Ord. 117 § 1.29.E, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.330(3) – (7)].
(1) A copy of an harassment protection order granted under this chapter shall be forwarded by the Clerk of the Court on or before the next judicial day to the Tulalip Police Department or appropriate law enforcement agency. Upon receipt of the order, the Police Department shall enter the order into the computer-based criminal intelligence information system currently in use by the Department to list outstanding warrants. The Police Department shall expunge expired orders from the computer system. Entry into the information system constitutes notice to the Police Department of the existence of the order.
(2) If an officer investigates an alleged violation of an order issued pursuant to this chapter and service has not been effected prior to contact, the officer shall provide service as described herein and within the next day file proof of service with the Court. Law enforcement shall update the criminal information system to reflect that service has been effected. [Res. 2013-379; Res. 2004-232; Ord. 117 § 1.29.F, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.340].
(1) Knowing violation of any harassment protection order subjects the respondent to criminal penalties under this chapter.
(2) Any respondent who is found guilty of violating the terms of the harassment protection order may also, subject to the Court’s discretion, be held in civil contempt of court, and the Court may impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate.
(3) Violation of an harassment protection order is a Class D offense.
(4) Third or subsequent violation of an harassment protection order is a Class E offense. [Res. 2013-379; Res. 2004-232; Ord. 117 § 1.29.G, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.350].
(1) Harassment protection orders issued by the Tulalip Tribal Court will be enforceable throughout the State of Washington pursuant to RCW 13.34.240, if pertaining to a child under 18, or Washington Civil Rule 82.5(c), provided it does not violate policy.
(2) To ensure that harassment protection orders issued by the Tulalip Tribal Court are enforced outside of the boundaries of the Reservation, harassment protection orders issued in the courts of the State of Washington will be enforced within the boundaries of the Tulalip Reservation.
(3) Notice of reciprocal enforcement pursuant to this section shall be printed on all harassment protection orders issued by the Court. [Res. 2013-379; Res. 2004-232; Ord. 117 § 1.29.H, 11-5-2001 (Res. 2001-365). Formerly 4.25.360].
Purpose. The Tulalip Tribes finds that there are times when a victim of a sexual assault or unwanted sexual contact is neither an intimate partner nor family member, thus does not qualify for the protections from these types of orders. Nevertheless, the victim deserves all the protections afforded within this chapter because the alleged sexual assault or unwanted sexual contact is such a heinous incident that goes to the heart of the health, safety and general welfare of the Tulalip Tribal Community; therefore, a protection order provided under this chapter is to protect those that have been sexually assaulted. [Res. 2013-379].
(c) Any other adult who, because of age, disability, health, or inaccessibility, cannot file the petition. [Res. 2013-379].
There shall exist an action known as a petition for a sexual assault protection order.
(1) A petition for relief shall allege the existence of nonconsensual sexual conduct or nonconsensual sexual penetration, and shall be accompanied by an affidavit made under oath stating the specific statements or actions made at the same time of the sexual assault or subsequently thereafter which give rise to a reasonable fear of future dangerous acts for which relief is sought. Petitioner and respondent shall disclose the existence of any other litigation or of any other restraining, protection, or no contact orders between the parties.
(2) A petition for relief may be made regardless of whether or not there is a pending lawsuit, criminal complaint, petition, or other action between the parties.
(3) Forms and instructional brochures and the necessary number of certified copies shall be provided to the petitioner free of charge.
(4) A person is not required to post a bond to obtain relief in any proceeding under this section.
(5) If the petition states that disclosure of the petitioner’s address would risk abuse of the petitioner or any member of the petitioner’s family or household, that address may be omitted from all documents filed with the Court. If the petitioner has not disclosed an address under this subsection, the petitioner shall designate an alternative address, such as the Legacy of Healing office, at which the respondent may serve notice of any motions. [Res. 2013-379].
(b) There is good cause to grant the remedy, regardless of the lack of prior service of process or of notice upon the respondent, because the harm which that remedy is intended to prevent would be likely to occur if the respondent were given any prior notice, or greater notice than was actually given, of the petitioner’s efforts to obtain judicial relief.
(2) If the Court declines to issue an ex parte temporary sexual assault protection order, the Court shall state the particular reasons for the Court’s denial and set a hearing on the petition. The Court’s denial of a motion for an ex parte temporary protection order shall be filed with the Court.
(3) A willful violation of a Court order issued under this section is punishable under the laws for the Tulalip Tribes and will subject the perpetrator to arrest.
(4) An ex parte temporary sexual assault protection order shall be effective for a fixed period not to exceed 14 days. A full hearing, as provided in this chapter, shall be set for not later than 14 days from the issuance of the temporary order. The respondent shall be personally served with a copy of the ex parte temporary sexual assault protection order along with a copy of the petition and notice of the date set for the hearing. If service is not possible, the Court may authorize service according to Chapter 2.10 TTC or its successor code.
(a) Any ex parte temporary sexual assault protection order issued under this section shall contain the date and time of issuance and the expiration date and shall be transmitted to the clerk of the court of the county in which the petitioner resides and to the Tulalip Police Department within one judicial day after issuance.
(5) Any ex parte temporary or final sexual assault protection order may be renewed one or more times, as necessary for victim safety. The petitioner may apply for renewal of the order by filing a petition for renewal at any time within the three months before the order expires. If the motion for renewal is uncontested and the petitioner seeks no modification of the order, the order may be renewed on the basis of the petitioner’s motion or affidavit stating that there has been no material change in relevant circumstances since entry of the order and stating the reason for the requested renewal. Renewals may be granted only in open court. [Res. 2013-379].
The Court may appoint counsel to represent the petitioner. [Res. 2013-379].
(1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, a final sexual assault protection order shall be effective for a fixed period of time, not to exceed two years. However, the order may be renewed prior to its expiration.
(2) Any sexual assault protection order which would expire on a Court holiday shall instead expire at the close of the next Court business day. [Res. 2013-379].
Upon motion with notice to all parties and after a hearing, the Court may modify the terms of an existing sexual assault protection order. In any situation where an order is terminated or modified before its expiration date, the Clerk of the Court shall, on or before the next judicial day, forward a true copy of the modified order or the termination order to the appropriate law enforcement agency specified in the modified or terminated order. Upon receipt of the order, the law enforcement agency shall promptly enter it in the computer-based criminal intelligence information system, or if the order is terminated, remove the order from the computer-based criminal intelligence information system. [Res. 2013-379].
(e) There is any other basis consistent with laws of the Tulalip Tribes and/or the laws of the United States.
(2) For jurisdiction to be exercised under subsections (1)(a) through (e) of this section, the individual must have communicated with the petitioner or a member of the petitioner’s family, directly or indirectly, or made known a threat to the safety of the petitioner or member of the petitioner’s family while the petitioner or family member resides within the exterior boundaries of the Tribes. For the purposes of subsections (1)(a) through (e) of this section, “communicated or made known” includes, but is not limited to, regular or electronic mail, telephonic, or a posting on an electronic communication site, medium or social website. Communication on any electronic medium that is generally available to any individual residing in the State shall be sufficient to exercise jurisdiction under subsection (1)(d) of this section if directed at a resident of the Tulalip Reservation. [Res. 2013-379].
Violation of a sexual assault protection order is a crime.
(1) Violation of a sexual assault protection order is a Class E offense.
(2) A third or subsequent violation of a sexual assault protection order is a Class F offense.
(3) Consent is not a defense to a charge of violation of a sexual assault protection order. [Res. 2013-379].
(1) A sexual assault protection order issued by the Tulalip Tribal Court will be enforceable throughout the State of Washington pursuant to RCW 13.34.240, if pertaining to a child under 18, or Washington Civil Rule 82.5(c).
(2) To ensure that sexual assault protection orders issued by the Tulalip Tribal Court are enforced outside of the boundaries of the Reservation, sexual assault protection orders issued in the courts of the State of Washington, or a tribal court within the State of Washington, will be enforced within the boundaries of the Reservation.
(3) Notice of reciprocal enforcement pursuant to this section shall be printed on all sexual assault protection orders issued by the Court. [Res. 2013-379].
