Domestic Violence and Protective Injunctions
What changed between versions

Removed extensive training requirements for emergency medical technicians, paramedics, and firefighters regarding domestic violence, dating violence, and strangulation.
Removed the requirement for law enforcement to administer a lethality assessment in all dating violence incidents.
Added a new definition for 'military protective order' to ensure these orders are treated similarly to domestic violence injunctions.
Modified electronic monitoring requirements to be mandatory only when a no-contact order is issued and there is clear evidence of a threat or a prior violation, rather than being broadly authorized.
Clarified that enhanced penalties for repeat domestic violence offenses apply regardless of whether the new violation is against the same victim as prior convictions.
Increased the maximum one-time relocation assistance payment for domestic violence victims from $1,500 to $2,500 and the lifetime maximum from $3,000 to $5,000.
