Bill > HB1320

This bill, concerning domestic violence reports, makes two primary changes. First, it modifies the process for obtaining an order for protection by requiring law enforcement officers to provide victims requesting such an order with the necessary forms and assistance to complete and file them, unless the victim refuses help, and mandates that officers file the forms with the court promptly. Second, it removes language that allowed an affidavit from an individual with direct knowledge of an incident to establish probable cause for battery or domestic battery, meaning officers will no longer be able to rely solely on such an affidavit for arrests in these specific cases.
