Bill overview
This bill requires that certain defendants who are victims of abuse, specifically domestic violence, receive trauma-informed reentry support services. These services, including mental health counseling, peer support, and housing assistance, are intended to address the impact of the abuse on the defendant’s behavior and help them successfully reintegrate into society. The bill is linked to another bill (S4870) that establishes a mitigating factor for sentencing in cases where abuse contributed to the crime. It establishes a grant program to expand access to these services.
