CT HB06887

The Judicial Department shall establish an electronic monitoring program in each judicial district (rather than a limited pilot program in three districts) to protect domestic violence victims.

Courts may order electronic monitoring of persons charged with violating restraining or protective orders who are determined to be high-risk offenders by the family violence intervention unit.

Electronic monitoring systems shall alert law enforcement agencies, a state-wide information collection center, and the victim when the monitored person is within a specified distance of the victim.

The court clerk must send a copy of any electronic monitoring order to the law enforcement agency or agencies for the town where the person resides.

The Judicial Branch must establish the program within each judicial district by October 1, 2025, within available appropriations, with the act taking effect July 1, 2023.
