AN ACT CONCERNING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CASE-TRACKING SYSTEM FOR DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS INVOLVING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

HB 6163 requires Connecticut's Chief Court Administrator to create a case-tracking system specifically for divorce proceedings involving documented domestic violence. This system must identify individuals experiencing domestic violence and their alleged perpetrators, provide judges and court staff with contextual details about the violence, and ensure domestic violence advocates are available throughout the legal process. The bill directly affects victims of domestic violence navigating divorce court, aiming to improve court responsiveness to their safety needs. It establishes a procedural mechanism for courts to better manage these sensitive cases, without changing existing legal standards or outcomes.
