A Washington state bill set to aid in the protection of victims of domestic violence will be signed into law by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee Monday.
HB 1715 would enact “comprehensive protections” for the victims of domestic violence and other violence involving family or partners.
When the bill is signed into law, electronic monitoring, with technology that would alert victims, would become available statewide. The state would create opportunities for low-income survivors of domestic violence to access specialized attorneys. Several changes would be amended to current laws, including changes to protection orders, no-contact orders, the surrender of firearms, and confidentiality programs.
Law enforcement and judicial officers would also have access to training regarding domestic violence.
