Bill > LD666

This bill provides ongoing funding of $2,500,000 per year from the General Fund for certified domestic violence intervention programs through the Department of Corrections' Office of Victim Services for fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27. The funding is intended to support court-ordered domestic violence intervention programs, which are specialized treatment programs designed to help individuals who have been convicted of domestic violence-related offenses learn techniques to manage anger, understand the dynamics of abusive relationships, and develop healthier interpersonal communication and conflict resolution skills. By providing consistent financial support to these programs, the bill aims to prevent future domestic violence incidents, support victims, and promote rehabilitation for perpetrators of domestic violence.
