Requires a lethality assessment in incidents of domestic violence

The deadline for law enforcement officers to complete lethality assessment training was extended from January 1, 2027, to January 1, 2028.

The date when lethality assessment training becomes a mandatory requirement for new officers was extended from January 1, 2027, to January 1, 2028.

The legislative process was altered, with the bill being re-referred to the committee, discharged, and amended before being ordered to a third reading.

The specific questions law enforcement must ask during a lethality assessment were changed; the question regarding paternity disputes was removed and replaced with a question asking if the abuser has ever threatened to kill themselves.

The bill number was updated from S 2280 to S 2280--A to reflect its status as an amended version reported favorably by the committee.

Minor formatting adjustments were made to the document header and page numbering to align with standard legislative markup for amended bills.
