Utah's domestic violence response laws get several updates under this bill. When an officer responds to a domestic violence call but does not make an arrest or issue a citation, the law enforcement agency must assign an officer to complete the investigation within 48 hours, and if evidence of an offense exists, the agency must submit charges to prosecutors within five business days. The bill also changes the court appearance requirement for arrested domestic violence suspects, replacing the existing one-judicial-day in-person or video appearance rule with a standard requiring the suspect to be brought before a magistrate "without unnecessary delay" for a probable cause determination under existing criminal procedure rules. Outdated reporting requirements from 2009–2013 are removed from the law entirely.
