Bill Summary

An Act relating to domestic violence; amending 22 O.S. 2021, Sections 40.6, 60.2, as last amended by Section 1, Chapter 305, O.S.L. 2023 (22 O.S. Supp. 2025, Section 60.2), and 60.20, which relate to criminal procedure; directing law enforcement agencies to prepare written domestic violence incident reports; providing examples which do not satisfy the incident report requirement; directing court clerks to accept for filing, file-stamp, and docket each petition for a protective order; directing that petition and any attachments be maintained as part of case record; providing exceptions; requiring each member of the judiciary to complete certain annual training; and providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill mandates that law enforcement agencies must prepare and maintain a written domestic violence incident report for each reported incident, clarifying that a simple dispatch log or call entry is insufficient. It also requires court clerks to accept, file-stamp, and officially record every petition for a protective order, ensuring these petitions and any supporting documents become part of the official case record, with provisions for confidentiality and redaction as allowed by law. Furthermore, the bill mandates that all members of the judiciary, specifically those who handle criminal, juvenile, family, and domestic cases, must complete at least two hours of annual training every two years on topics such as the dynamics of domestic violence, its impact on victims and children, identifying the dominant aggressor, batterer tactics, victim protection orders, victim rights, and evidence-based practices for behavioral health and substance abuse treatment.
