To create a domestic violence registry

Registration fees were changed from $150 total with $50 retained by courts and $100 sent to the Domestic Violence Legal Services Fund to $150 total with $0 retained by courts and $50 sent to the Family Court Fund

The terminology for fund deposit was changed from 'inclusion' to 'deposit' to clarify the accounting treatment of the fees

Header information was added identifying the amendment as HB5341 HFA AKERS 2-23 with adoption and rejection status

The $50 portion of the registration fee will now be retained for article administration instead of being deposited in the Family Court Fund, while the $100 portion for the Domestic Violence Legal Services Fund remains unchanged.

Updated version references in the header and links section to reflect the Committee Substitute version rather than the Engrossed Version, and added blank lines for formatting consistency.

Minor formatting change in subsection (g) where 'provided, however' is now lowercase instead of 'Provided, However' for consistency with standard legislative formatting.

Changed from general domestic violence registry to specifically focus on intimate partner violence with legislative intent clarifying it does not apply to isolated family conflicts.

Added effective date provision stating the article applies only to offenses committed on or after July 1, 2026, though prior convictions can still be used for enhancement.

Changed registration requirements from requiring written findings for non-intimate partner cases to automatic registration for intimate partner offenses with specific criteria based on prior convictions and offense severity.

Added specific removal timelines: 5 years for one prior conviction, 10 years for two prior convictions or serious offenses, and lifetime registration for three or more prior convictions.

Removed extensive registration requirements including fingerprints, palm prints, social security numbers, and detailed personal information that registrants must provide.

Updated definition of intimate partner and removed detailed definitions of domestic violence crimes, instead referencing external code sections.
