Domestic Violence - As enacted, enacts "The Debbie and Marie Domestic Violence Protection Act," which makes revisions to law related to global positioning monitoring system devices, including requiring the court to order an offender to wear such a device under certain circumstances unless the court finds the offender no longer poses a threat to the alleged victim or public safety, requiring a cellular device application or electronic receptor device provided to the victim to be capable of notifying the victim if the offender is within a prescribed proximity of the victim's cellular device or electronic receptor device, and making other revisions. - Amends TCA Title 39; Title 40, Chapter 11 and Title 55, Chapter 10.
This bill establishes "The Debbie and Marie Domestic Violence Protection Act" to require courts to order offenders charged with specific domestic violence crimes to wear GPS monitoring devices as a condition of their release on bail. Under the new rules, judges must also provide victims with a cellular app or electronic device that alerts them if the offender enters a prohibited area or comes within a set distance. The law mandates that these monitoring systems remain in place unless a judge determines the offender no longer poses a threat to the victim or public safety. Additionally, the bill defines the technical requirements for the monitoring equipment and clarifies the responsibilities of the private or public companies that operate these tracking services.
