SB 5618: Domestic violence assault

Concerning arrest of sixteen and seventeen year olds for domestic violence assault.

Summary

  • Specifies that a 16 or 17 year old is not subject to mandatory arrest for domestic violence assault when a parent or guardian requests the youth's arrest.
  • Clarifies that although there is no mandatory arrest of a 16 or 17 year old, a police officer's authority to make an arrest if permitted by other laws is not changed by removing the domestic violence assault mandatory arrest requirement for 16 and 17 year olds.
