HB 1273 would allow new batterer intervention programs with different, possibly more flexible schedules. Currently, state law requires licensed programs to last a full year with strict attendance rules. Citing low completion rates, the bill aims to ensure participants receive the core information without being set up to fail and possibly incarcerated due to rigid attendance requirements.
The author noted that the bill will likely undergo significant revisions following late opposition. She stated she plans to meet with stakeholders to continue discussions on the issue.
