  • Establishes detailed qualifications for professional supervisors including certifications in domestic violence dynamics, child abuse recognition, trauma-informed training, fingerprint clearance cards, liability insurance, and 24 hours of continuing education every two years

  • Allows nonprofessional (unpaid) supervisors only in non-high-risk cases where neither party has been subject to a protective order in the past 10 years, with required training in trauma, domestic violence, and de-escalation
