Bill overview
This bill requires certain domestic violence offenders, specifically those convicted of related crimes or placed on probation, to participate in professional counseling as a condition of their sentence. The counseling must be provided by a qualified professional specializing in domestic violence. The court will also be required to inform the defendant about restrictions on firearm ownership and surrender any firearms they possess. This aims to address the underlying causes of domestic violence and promote offender accountability.
