A bill for an act relating to no-contact orders and electronic tracking and monitoring systems.
SF 340 requires courts to inform defendants violating no-contact orders (for domestic abuse, stalking, or similar offenses) that they may face electronic monitoring. It mandates that defendants wear tracking devices monitored within 1,000 feet of a protected party's home or workplace ("protective zone"), with real-time alerts sent to both the protected party and law enforcement if the defendant enters the zone. Defendants must pay all costs for the monitoring system as court fees. The bill applies to individuals violating orders issued under Iowa law, ensuring continuous monitoring for repeat violations while defining specific geographic protections.
