MODERATE

This bill adds several new sponsors to the legislation and updates the legislative history to reflect recent committee actions. Substantively, it revises the training deadline for law enforcement officers from 2028 to 2029 and requires that lethality assessment questions be placed in a clearly designated section of the domestic violence incident report form.

TIMELINE

The deadline for law enforcement officers to complete lethality assessment training was extended from January 1, 2028, to January 1, 2029.

REQUIREMENT

New requirements mandate that lethality assessment questions must be set in a separate, clearly designated section of the domestic incident report form.

The authority to amend, supplement, or remove assessment questions was clarified to allow the division to issue guidance for these changes.

TECHNICAL

The list of bill sponsors was expanded to include multiple new members, and the legislative history was updated to record additional committee discharges and amendments.
