Now vs if chaptered
Now: not law; live NY ERPO remains CPLR Art. 63-A. If chaptered, it would add petitioner-side counsel and filing discretion, not a new possessory offense.
Defender utility
NY PDs on ERPO calendars: this is not a respondent-side defense today and does not alter live Art. 63-A. If it chapters, use it to contest any claim that an officer or DA was required to file; it would not itself create a client possessory count. Not a California GVRO.
Who this is for. NY PDs on ERPO calendars — pending officer-counsel / filing-discretion overlay, not present law; not a California GVRO.
