This bill establishes a Domestic Violence Fatality Review Committee within the Department of Justice, tasked with conducting thorough, multidisciplinary reviews of deaths resulting from domestic violence. The committee aims to identify obstacles to victim safety, assess responses from law enforcement and other agencies, and formulate recommendations to enhance systemic and community responses to domestic violence. It will comprise appointed members from various sectors, including law enforcement, health services, legal services, and domestic violence organizations, with oversight from the attorney general. The bill also emphasizes the confidentiality of the information and records obtained during the committee's proceedings.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a criminal penalty for individuals who intentionally disclose information from committee proceedings, categorizing such an act as a class A misdemeanor. It mandates the committee to produce a public biennial report on trends in domestic violence deaths and recommendations for prevention. The bill includes provisions to protect the confidentiality of the committee's work and shields its members from legal liability when acting in good faith. While the bill does not specify any deletions from current law, it introduces new provisions for the committee's establishment and functions, and it is expected to have an indeterminable fiscal impact on state and local governments due to potential changes in expenditures related to the judicial and correctional systems. The act will take effect upon its passage.
