Field notes
The page separates Iowa Code chapters 664A (criminal no-contact orders) and 236 (civil temporary orders), scoring each against imminent-harm verification, duration, hearing, and applicant candor. It cites court decisions and research, including a JAMA 2002 study, and presents relative-risk figures in a measurement section; these are the campaign’s selected sources and framing, not independently assessed here. A separate legislative track includes draft text, sponsor materials, a session path, testimony, and public-comment links.
