Bill > S2571

This bill aims to prevent domestic violence by making several changes to existing laws. It requires the form for filing a domestic violence complaint to be made easily accessible to the public, instructs the courts to create a new complaint form with a field for indicating fear of life, establishes a toll-free hotline for reporting domestic violence incidents, and increases the penalties for violating a domestic violence protection order. The bill also specifies that it will go into effect immediately upon passage.
