Bill > A09892

This bill amends the Executive Law and the General Business Law to require law enforcement officers to conduct a lethality assessment as part of the standardized domestic incident report form when responding to incidents of domestic violence. The bill outlines a set of lethality assessment questions that officers must ask the victim, and requires officers to advise the victim of the assessment results, refer the victim to local domestic violence resources, and potentially file for an extreme risk protection order if the assessment indicates a high risk of harm. The bill also updates the domestic incident report form and requires training for all law enforcement officers on administering the lethality assessment.
