Generally revise laws related to restitution

Updated the definition of 'family member' and 'partners' to include specific relationships like stepchildren, in-laws, and dating partners, ensuring consistent application of assault laws.

Established mandatory fines and jail terms ranging from 24 hours to 5 years depending on whether it is a first, second, or subsequent offense.

Added a requirement for offenders to complete counseling assessments focused on violence and chemical dependency.

Removed draft-specific text, including the long list of other amended statutes and the 'Whereas' clauses explaining legislative intent, as these were part of the bill's introduction rather than the final enacted law.

The bill number was changed from LC 3439 to HB 578.1, and the primary sponsor was added as B. Mercer.

The list of obligations for offenders in partner or family member assault cases was expanded to require completion of psychoeducational groups or treatment in addition to counseling and referrals.
