Texas HB1824 aims to enhance victim safety by requiring GPS tracking for domestic violence offenders.

Texas HB1824, known as the Sharon Radebaugh Domestic Violence Protection Act, seeks to strengthen the monitoring of domestic violence offenders through GPS tracking systems. The bill mandates courts to require GPS monitoring for individuals released on bond for offenses involving family violence if they pose a continuing threat to the victim. High-risk offenders, defined by a history of violent behavior or threats of harm, must wear GPS devices. The Department of Public Safety will establish a Domestic Violence Monitoring Program to oversee compliance and provide victim assistance.
