§ 60-31b10 Application of orders.

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

If a court has issued a protection order, this law covers it, no matter when it was issued. It doesn't matter if the order was put in place before July 1, 2005, or after that date. The same rules apply either way.

This also covers cases where someone is trying to enforce a protection order that was issued in another state or jurisdiction (called a "foreign protection order"). If that enforcement case started before July 1, 2005, and is still going on, this law still applies to it. The same is true for enforcement cases that started after that date.

In simple terms, this rule makes sure there's no gap in coverage. Whether your protection order is old or new, and whether it came from Kansas or somewhere else, the same legal protections and enforcement rules apply to your situation.
