What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, a person who is arrested for a domestic abuse incident may not go to the residence of the alleged victim of the incident or contact the alleged victim for 72 hours after he or she is arrested unless the alleged victim signs a waiver that would allow the person to go to the home or make contact. A person who does so is subject to a forfeiture of up to $1,000.

Under this bill, a person who violates these provisions is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor and is subject to a fine not to exceed $10,000, imprisonment not to exceed nine months, or both.

Read the full summary

Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime, the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to result if the bill is enacted.
