HB 2750: Increasing the criminal penalties for second or subsequent convictions of the crime of violation of a protective order.

HB 2750 increases penalties for repeat violations of protective orders in Kansas. For a second or subsequent violation, the offense will be charged as a felony instead of a misdemeanor. This applies to violations of various protective orders, including those related to domestic violence, stalking, or criminal case conditions. The bill does not change penalties for first-time violations.

HB 2192: Limiting or prohibiting work release for people convicted of a second or third offense of domestic battery, requiring an offender convicted of a first offense to undergo a domestic violence offender assessment, excluding certain offenders convicted of a nonperson felony from participation in certified drug abuse treatment programs and authorizing community correctional services officers to complete criminal risk-need assessments for divertees who are committed to such programs.

HB 2192 restricts work release for individuals convicted of a second or third offense of domestic battery in Kansas. For a second offense within five years, work release is only permitted after serving 45 consecutive days (previously 48 hours), and probation/suspension requires at least 45 days served. For a third or subsequent offense, the bill prohibits work release entirely until the offender serves 90 consecutive days of imprisonment. This amendment to Kansas law (K.S.A. 21-5414) directly affects repeat domestic battery offenders by extending mandatory prison time before eligibility for work release or other supervised release options.
