Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Stronger privacy for victims and staff

Client case files from certified programs are confidential. Courts generally cannot order a shelter’s address or a client’s location to be disclosed. Forms and electronic data given to the Attorney General are not public records, and identifying details cannot be shared except to make anonymous statistics. Board members, staff, and volunteers of certified programs keep their home addresses, personal phone numbers, and Social Security numbers private under open‑records law.

Attorney General coordinates victim services

The law creates a Victims Services Unit in the Attorney General’s Office. The Unit must provide or arrange help through certified domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking programs. The Attorney General can contract for shelter and other needed services. The law defines which programs count and, in counties with several programs, directs grants to those that run a shelter. Certified or funded programs must follow the Attorney General’s rules.

Shelter and court help for minor mothers

Shelters can house an unemancipated mother under 18, and her child, for up to 30 days without a court order or parent consent. The minor mother can get an emergency custody hearing to decide longer-term care. Shelters and their operators are protected from criminal charges when they act in good faith to provide this help to a runaway minor mother.

New standards and $150 fee for providers

The Attorney General sets uniform certification standards for domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and batterers programs. Providers apply to the AG, can be certified for three years, and may be inspected. Each applicant pays a $150 certification fee. Licensed professionals in private practice are exempt, and programs run by several state agencies are not subject to these AG standards. The AG can collect data to oversee services and, with district attorneys, can ask courts to stop programs that violate rules; AG or DA findings after a hearing count as initial proof. Existing program rules are transferred to the AG.

24/7 statewide hotline for victims

The Attorney General runs a 24-hour statewide phone line for victims of rape, forcible sodomy, human trafficking, and domestic violence. It gives steps to stay safe, connects callers to social services, and explains legal rights and remedies.
