What it does
This bill relates to domestic abuse risk assessment and deterrence. The bill requires that, when a peace officer has reason to believe that domestic abuse has occurred but no arrest has been made, a peace officer shall perform a risk assessment of the person the peace officer has determined to be the primary physical aggressor, based on rules adopted by the department of justice, in order to categorize the potential threat a primary physical aggressor poses to an abused person. Once a risk assessment has been completed, the peace officer shall provide to the primary physical aggressor informational materials created by the department of justice for the purpose of addressing root causes of domestic abuse the peace officer believes may be relevant to the situation.
