This bill establishes a Domestic Violence Fatality Review Committee within the Department of Justice, which will conduct comprehensive, multidisciplinary reviews of deaths related to domestic violence. The committee aims to identify barriers to victim safety, evaluate responses from law enforcement and other agencies, and create recommendations to enhance systemic and community responses to domestic violence. It will consist of appointed members from various sectors, including law enforcement, health services, legal services, and domestic violence organizations, with oversight from the attorney general. The committee is mandated to maintain confidentiality regarding all information and records obtained during its proceedings.

Additionally, the bill introduces a criminal penalty for individuals who intentionally disclose information from committee proceedings, classifying this act as a class A misdemeanor. The committee is required to produce a public biennial report detailing trends in domestic violence deaths and recommendations for legislative or policy changes to prevent future fatalities. It also includes provisions for the committee's immunity from civil or criminal liability when actions are taken in good faith. The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to create the committee and outline its functions. The financial implications of the bill are indeterminable, and it is set to take effect upon passage, highlighting the urgency of addressing domestic violence issues in the state.
