2:05Now PlayingNew state law will give domestic violence survivors more rights in municipal court
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRight now, survivors of domestic violence don't have the same rights if their case ends up in municipal court. A new state law will change that in January.
HB23-1222 requires municipalities that prosecute domestic violence cases to adopt an ordinance that affords protections and rights to victims that are the same as the protections afforded by the Colorado Victim Rights Act, which does not currently apply in municipal courts.
The ordinances should also create additional bond standards for domestic violence defendants and require courts to report domestic violence cases to certain databases.
