Establishes that a 2nd offense that occurs within 5 years, rather than 1 year, of the 1st conviction of the offense of abuse of a family or household member is a misdemeanor and the person shall be termed a "repeat offender". Establishes that a 3rd or subsequent offense that occurs within 5, rather than 2, years of a 2nd or subsequent conviction of the offense is a class C felony and allows the prosecution to use prior convictions of the offense of abuse of a family or household member as evidence in the instant offense committed by a repeat offender.
