HB1296

Courts would be required to order domestic abuse defendants to wear GPS monitoring devices that track their location 24/7 and alert law enforcement if they go near restricted locations as a condition of release. Defendants must pay for the monitoring device, and if the victim agrees, they must also pay for the victim to receive an app or device showing the defendant's real-time location. This creates a new mandatory condition for domestic abuse cases in addition to any other release requirements a court might impose.
