HB 2275 First domestic assault; deferral and probation.

Introduced by: Robert Hurt | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

First domestic assault; deferral and probation. Makes discretionary with the court, where the court is deferring proceedings, the provisions for evaluating and ordering participation in an education or treatment program for persons charged with a first domestic assault. The bill also provides that the term of probation is two years from the date the court makes findings of facts that would support a finding of guilt. Under current law, probation runs for a two-year period following completion of local probation supervision, and evaluation and participation in an education or treatment program is mandatory where the court defers findings. This bill is identical to SB 826.
