Bill > HB2192

This bill modifies laws related to domestic battery and drug abuse treatment programs, aiming to increase accountability for offenders. Specifically, it limits or prohibits work release for individuals convicted of a second or third domestic battery offense, requiring them to serve a minimum of 20 days in jail before any release, and mandates a domestic violence offender assessment for first-time offenders. For those involved in certified drug abuse treatment programs, the bill excludes certain offenders convicted of a "nonperson felony" (a felony not involving violence or the threat of violence against a person) from participation if they have specific prior convictions or if certain provisions of the sentencing guidelines apply, while also authorizing community correctional services officers to conduct criminal risk-need assessments for individuals committed to these programs.
