Victims of Violence

Summary

The bill creates a legal shortcut that lets victims of domestic, repeat, sexual, or dating violence claim self‑defense more easily when they act against the abuser. It also requires police, prosecutors, and judges to receive trauma‑informed training on how survivors behave. The measure aims to better protect survivors and ensure courts understand their experiences.
