Bill > SB1325

This bill, amending the Protection from Domestic Abuse Act, mandates that defendants charged with specific domestic violence offenses, including domestic abuse by strangulation, domestic abuse with a dangerous or deadly weapon, or domestic abuse after a previous adjudication for domestic abuse, must wear a Global Positioning System (GPS) monitoring device when released on bond. The defendant is responsible for the cost of this GPS device and associated monitoring fees, with the Department of Corrections overseeing the tracking until the case concludes. The bill also allows victims to apply to monitor the defendant's location, specifically to receive alerts if the defendant approaches within a certain distance. The GPS device will be removed if the defendant is acquitted, incarcerated, or the case is dismissed. This legislation aims to enhance victim safety by providing an additional layer of monitoring and accountability for individuals accused of serious domestic violence crimes.
