Introduced by: W. Roscoe Reynolds | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Definition of family or household member; penalty.  Redefines the definition of "family or household member" to include (1) a person's in-laws regardless of whether the in-laws reside in the same house as the person and (2) any individual who is or was involved in a continuing relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the person. Expanding the definition of "family or household member" implicates crimes for which a family or household member is a victim (e.g., assault and battery against a family member) and protective orders under which a person may be protected (e.g., protective orders in cases of family abuse). This bill has been incorporated into SB 1222.
