MT SB383

Adds a statutory definition of "victim" as a partner or family member against whom an offender commits assault, explicitly stating that a person acting in self-defense is considered a victim

Prohibits victims from being charged with partner or family member assault under Montana law

Limits prosecution to only one party per domestic assault incident, preventing dual arrests where both parties are charged

Extends the same victim protections to strangulation of a partner or family member offenses under Section 45-5-215

Amends existing Montana Code Sections 45-5-206 (partner or family member assault) and 45-5-215 (strangulation) to incorporate these protections
