HB 1735 allows courts to consider past domestic violence incidents when a defendant faces new charges involving domestic violence or abuse. Prosecutors must disclose evidence of prior incidents to the defense at least 15 days before trial. The law applies to all domestic violence cases, including psychological, physical, or emotional abuse against current partners or household members. It ensures defendants have time to prepare their defense while maintaining existing legal standards for evidence.
