Establishes standards for domestic violence counseling and creates "Abuse Intervention Program Advisory Committee."

This bill establishes standards for domestic violence counseling programs that defendants must attend as part of court orders in domestic violence cases. It requires these programs to include risk assessments, education on power and control tactics, attendance tracking, and collaboration with courts to support offender accountability. The bill creates the "Abuse Intervention Program Advisory Committee" within the Department of Children and Families, with members representing courts, social services, domestic violence advocates, and community stakeholders. The committee will help select, fund, and oversee evidence-based batterers' intervention programs that address domestic violence as a control issue. These programs aim to promote behavior change among offenders while supporting victims' safety through structured, accountable interventions.
