A. Immediately upon rendering a decision granting the petitioner a temporary restraining order or a preliminary or permanent injunction prohibiting a person from harming a family or household member or dating partner, or directing a person accused of stalking to refrain from abusing, harassing, or interfering with the victim of the stalking when the parties are strangers or acquaintances, the judge shall cause to have prepared a Uniform Abuse Prevention Order, as provided in R.S. 46:2136.2(C), shall sign such order, and shall immediately forward it to the clerk of court for filing on the day that the order is issued.

B. When a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or permanent injunction relative to domestic abuse or dating violence or relative to stalking as provided for in Paragraph A of this Article, is issued, dissolved, or modified, the clerk of court shall transmit the Uniform Abuse Prevention Order to the Judicial Administrator's Office, Louisiana Supreme Court, for entry into the Louisiana Protective Order Registry, as provided in R.S. 46:2136.2(A), by facsimile transmission or direct electronic input as expeditiously as possible, but no later than the end of the next business day after the order is filed with the clerk of court.
