28-311.10. Foreign harassment protection order; enforcement.(1) A valid foreign harassment protection order or order similar to a harassment protection order issued by a court of another state, tribe, or territory shall be accorded full faith and credit by the courts of this state and enforced as if it were issued in this state.(2) A foreign harassment order issued by a court of another state, tribe, or territory shall be valid if:(a) The issuing court had jurisdiction over the parties and matter under the law of such state, tribe, or territory;(b) The respondent was given reasonable notice and an opportunity to be heard sufficient to protect the respondent's right to due process before the order was issued; and(c) The harassment order from another jurisdiction has not been rendered against both the petitioner and the respondent, unless: (i) The respondent filed a cross or counter petition, complaint, or other written pleading seeking such a harassment order; and (ii) the issuing court made specific findings of harassment against both the petitioner and respondent and determined that each party was entitled to such an order. There is a presumption of the validity of the foreign protection order when the order appears authentic on its face.(3) A peace officer may rely upon a copy of any putative valid foreign harassment protection order which has been provided to the peace officer by any source.
