SB 871

Existing law establishes the Domestic Violence Prevention Act for the purpose of preventing acts of domestic violence, abuse, and sexual abuse and providing for a separation of the persons involved in the domestic violence for a period sufficient to enable those persons to seek a resolution of the causes of the violence. This bill would make findings and declarations related to the prevention of domestic violence and would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would establish an electronic monitoring or Global Positioning System (GPS) monitoring program that would equip domestic violence victims and offenders with electronic monitoring or (GPS) monitoring devices to allow notification of both parties as well as law enforcement if the offender comes too close to the victim.
