Can a workplace violence restraining order be renewed?

A workplace violence restraining order can be renewed for up to three more years if the person who filed the order or is protected by it requests it. The request for a renewal can be filed at any time during the three months before the final order expires. You do not have to show that there has been more harassment, violence, or threats.1
