SB3173

Illinois SB3173 mandates lethality assessments for domestic violence incidents by law enforcement.

Illinois SB3173 amends the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986 by requiring law enforcement officers to complete a lethality assessment form when investigating an alleged domestic violence incident. This assessment evaluates the likelihood of serious injury or death to the victim. The officer must then advise the victim of the assessment results and refer them to local domestic violence programs and the Illinois State Domestic Violence Hotline.
