In addition to amending several laws related to stalking,the legislature defined a new stalking no-contact order that can be issued as a pretrial or post-conviction condition when the protected party of the order would not qualify for a domestic violence no-contact order. This ordinance adopts several sections of the 2013 state law to incorporate the stalking no-contact order into the City's criminal code and makes other necessary revisions to make city law consistent with state law. RECOMMENDATION(Exact action requested of Council): Adopt an Ordinance relating to Stalking and Stalking No-Contact Orders, adding new sections to the Everett Criminal Code(Ordinance No. 1145-85) and amending Ordinance Nos. 1974-93, 1234-86 and 1521-88 as provided in Section 12 herein. 13
