If there is no outstanding restraining or protective order <br />prohibiting that person from having contact with the victim, and the victim does <br />not qualify for a domestic violence protection order under chapter 26.50 RCW, <br />the court authorizing release may issue, by telephone, a stalking no -contact order <br />prohibiting the person charged or arrested from having contact with the victim or <br />from knowingly coming within, or knowingly remaining within, a specified distance <br />of a location. <br />2.

At the time of arraignment or whenever a motion is brought to modify the <br />conditions of the defendant's release, the court shall determine whether a <br />stalking no -contact order shall be issued or extended. If a stalking no -contact <br />order is issued or extended, the court may also include in the conditions of <br />release a requirement that the defendant submit to electronic monitoring, <br />including real-time global position satellite monitoring with victim notification. If <br />electronic monitoring is ordered, the court shall specify who shall provide the <br />monitoring services, and the terms under which the monitoring shall be <br />performed. Upon conviction, the court may require as a condition of the <br />sentence that the defendant reimburse the providing agency for the costs of the <br />electronic monitoring, including costs relating to real-time global position satellite <br />monitoring with victim notification. <br />2. A stalking no -contact order issued by the court in conjunction with criminal <br />charges shall terminate if the defendant is acquitted or the charges are <br />dismissed, unless the victim files an independent action for a stalking protection <br />order. If the victim files an independent action for a civil stalking protection order, <br />the order may be continued by the court until a full hearing is conducted pursuant <br />to Section 6, Chapter 84, Washington Laws of 2013. <br />C. 1. The written order releasing the person charged or arrested shall contain the <br />court's directives and shall bear the legend: "Violation of this order is a criminal <br />offense under chapter 26.50 RCW and will subject a violator to arrest. You can <br />be arrested even if any person protected by the order invites or allows you to <br />violate the order's prohibitions. You have the sole responsibility to avoid or <br />refrain from violating the order's provisions. Only the court can change the <br />order." <br />2. A certified copy of the order shall be provided to the victim at no charge. <br />D. If a stalking no -contact order has been issued prior to charging, that order shall <br />expire at arraignment or within seventy-two hours if charges are not filed. <br />E. Whenever an order prohibiting contact is issued pursuant to subsection B of this <br />section, the clerk of the court shall forward a copy of the order on or before the <br />2 <br />7 <br />
