SB 826 Family abuse.
Introduced by: Henry L. Marsh III | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Family abuse. Amends the statute that permits a deferred disposition for a first offense of assault and battery against a family or household member so that the judge may order the defendant directly into an educational and treatment program. Current law suggests that an evaluation must be conducted to determine if the defendant should enter such a program. The bill also specifies the first date on which the minimum two-year deferral period may end. The bill also adds "if available" after local probation in recognition of the fact that not all jurisdictions have local probation services. This bill is a recommendation of the Committee on District Courts. This bill is identical to HB 2275.
