Representative introduces bill to authorize electronic monitoring in domestic violence cases
Summary
Representative Resmond asked the Committee on Judiciary to introduce 26RS2479, which would authorize electronic monitoring of a perpetrator and send a text to the victim when the perpetrator is in close proximity; the committee introduced the bill without objection.
Representative Resmond introduced bill 26RS2479, which Resmond described as addressing domestic violence and proposing to "authorize electronic monitoring of a perpetrator." Resmond explained the notification mechanism: "When they're in close proximity of a victim, the victim would be notified by a text that the perpetrator was with close proximity."
The chair invited questions from the committee; none were recorded in the transcript. The chair said, without objection, that the bill would be requested for introduction. The transcript records no additional details—such as technical specifications, privacy safeguards, costs, funding, or an implementation timeline—and no hearing or vote was scheduled in this session.
No members expressed support or opposition on the record during the meeting.
