<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=747353118-21012011><U>HB 2925:</U>
Requires the court to enter order prohibiting defendant from contacting the
victim when defendant is arraigned on sex crime or crime constituting domestic
violence. Authorizes court, at victim's request, to enter additional order at
sentencing for period of time equal to statutory maximum sentence from crime.
Authorizes victim to petition for termination of order. (This bill is meant to
fill the gap when a defendant is in-custody and therefore has no "release
agreement" prohibiting contact with the victim and/or the situation when
defendant completes term of probation and there is no other means for a "no
contact" provision with the victim). (Rep. Thatcher has also introduced a
similar bill--<U>HB 2766)</U></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=747353118-21012011><U>HB 2927:</U>
Creates statewide interdisciplinary domestic violence fatality review team.
Would require biennial report to Legislative Assembly. (Currently, there is a
statute that authorizes a statewide DV fatality panel, but the statute is fairly
vague and is discretionary).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

as level "8" if Defendant has previously been convicted for strangulation,
otherwise level "4". </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
