Requires courts to mandate GPS monitoring for defendants charged with domestic abuse as a condition of release.
The bill allows courts to require defendants charged with domestic abuse to wear a GPS device as a condition of release. The device must monitor the defendant's location 24/7 and alert law enforcement if the defendant enters restricted areas. The defendant must also pay for the device and any associated costs. If the alleged victim consents, they can receive alerts if the defendant approaches them. The court must inform the victim that their communications regarding GPS monitoring are not confidential.
