Create the repeat domestic violence offender registry
This bill establishes a new public registry for individuals convicted of repeat domestic violence offenses. It requires courts to identify defendants who have a current charge plus at least one prior conviction for domestic violence and order them to register with the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation. The registry will publicly display personal details like names and photos to help the community identify these offenders, while protecting sensitive data such as social security numbers. The system is designed to automatically remove an individual's record after a set period if they do not commit further violations.
