AN ACT RELATING TO CRIMINAL PROCEDURE -- DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PREVENTION ACT

Summary

The law mandates that any police officer who responds to or investigates a domestic‑violence incident must complete a standardized reporting form, even if no arrest is made. The state’s court‑system training unit will design the form and collect the data, and police departments must send the completed forms and accompanying narratives to that unit each month, or by year‑end for ongoing cases. This aims to improve statewide data on domestic violence and ensure compliance with existing reporting requirements.
