This bill originally would have required law enforcement agencies to assign an officer to complete an investigation within 48 hours whenever a domestic violence call did not result in an arrest or citation. A substitute version removed that 48-hour investigation requirement and instead focuses on other changes to how police and courts handle domestic violence cases. Under the substitute, police responding to a report of a domestic violence offense must still arrest or cite someone they have probable cause to believe committed the offense, and must arrest (without the option of a citation) if there's reason to believe violence will continue or if the offense involved serious injury or a weapon; the bill also removes an outdated requirement from 2009–2013 that certain officers report parties' marital status and relationship data to the state, while keeping the requirement that agencies forward likely charges to prosecutors within five business days when there's probable cause an offense occurred. Separately, the bill changes how quickly an arrested person accused of domestic violence must be brought before a judge — instead of requiring appearance within one judicial day, it requires that the person be presented "without unnecessary delay" for a probable cause determination under existing court rules; a person charged by citation or summons without arrest must still appear within 14 days of the next court session. As before, these court appearances remain mandatory and cannot be waived, and judges are still required to consider issuing a pretrial protective order at that appearance.
