New York S05963 mandates global positioning system monitoring for defendants charged with domestic violence crimes.

New York S05963 amends the executive law to establish the "Protection of Victims of Domestic Violence Act." This act allows judges to order defendants charged with domestic violence crimes to wear global positioning system devices as a condition of release. The court must obtain the victim's informed consent before ordering this monitoring. The victim can request to terminate their participation in the monitoring at any time, and the court cannot impose sanctions for refusal. The act also outlines the information the victim must be provided before consenting to the monitoring.
