True or False: A Personal Protection Order (PPO) is active once signed by a judge, even if it has not been served yet.

True
False

The correct answer is: True

A Personal Protection Order (PPO) becomes effective immediately upon being signed by a judge. This means that the order holds legal weight and is enforceable, even before it has been formally served to the respondent. The rationale behind this immediate effect is to provide protection to the individual seeking the order as soon as possible, as they may be in a vulnerable situation. It's important to understand that although the order is active, law enforcement may not be able to enforce it until the respondent has been properly notified, but its legal standing is intact from the moment of signing by the judge.
