SB2638 HD2

PART I

SECTION 1. The purpose of this part is to establish a five-year pilot project to strengthen state and county responses to domestic violence and increase offender accountability by:

(1) Establishing a petty misdemeanor offense of abuse of family or household members and penalties;

(2) Reducing congestion in the court system caused by a backlog of jury trial cases by permitting persons charged with a petty misdemeanor or misdemeanor offense of abuse of a family or household member to enter a deferred acceptance of guilty plea under certain conditions, and specifying that the deferred acceptance shall be set aside if the defendant fails to complete any court-ordered domestic violence intervention programs or parenting classes within the time frame specified by the court; and

(3) Requiring data collection and reporting to determine the effectiveness of the pilot project by the judiciary on the number of cases filed with the judiciary and the outcome of each case relating to domestic violence.

SECTION 2. Section 709-906, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:

"§709-906 Abuse of family or household members; penalty. (1) It shall be unlawful for any person, singly or in concert, to physically abuse a family or household member or to refuse compliance with the lawful order of a police officer under subsection (4). The police, in investigating any complaint of abuse of a family or household member, upon request, may transport the abused person to a hospital or safe shelter.

[~~For the purposes of this section:~~

~~"Business day" means any calendar day, except Saturday, Sunday, or any state holiday.~~

~~"Family or household member":~~

~~(a)~~ Means spouses or reciprocal beneficiaries, former spouses or reciprocal beneficiaries, persons in a dating relationship as defined under section 586-1, persons who have a child in common, parents, children, persons related by consanguinity, and persons jointly residing or formerly residing in the same dwelling unit; and

~~(b)~~ ~~Does not include those who are, or were, adult roommates or cohabitants only by virtue of an economic or contractual affiliation.~~]

(2) Any police officer, with or without a warrant, may arrest a person if the officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the person is physically abusing, or has physically abused, a family or household member and that the person arrested is guilty thereof.

(3) A police officer who has reasonable grounds to believe that the person is physically abusing, or has physically abused, a family or household member shall prepare a written report.

(4) Any police officer, with or without a warrant, shall take the following course of action, regardless of whether the physical abuse or harm occurred in the officer's presence:

(a) The police officer shall make reasonable inquiry of the family or household member upon whom the officer believes physical abuse or harm has been inflicted and other witnesses as there may be;

(b) If the person who the police officer reasonably believes to have inflicted the abuse is eighteen years of age or older, the police officer lawfully shall order the person to leave the premises for a period of separation, during which time the person shall not initiate any contact, either by telephone or in person, with the family or household member; provided that the person is allowed to enter the premises with police escort to collect any necessary personal effects. The period of separation shall commence when the order is issued and shall expire at 6:00 p.m. on the second business day following the day the order was issued; provided that the day the order is issued shall not be included in the computation of the two business days;

(c) If the person who the police officer reasonably believes to have inflicted the abuse is under the age of eighteen, the police officer may order the person to leave the premises for a period of separation, during which time the person shall not initiate any contact with the family or household member by telephone or in person; provided that the person is allowed to enter the premises with police escort to collect any necessary personal effects. The period of separation shall commence when the order is issued and shall expire at 6:00 p.m. on the second business day following the day the order was issued; provided that the day the order is issued shall not be included in the computation of the two business days. The order of separation may be amended at any time by a judge of the family court. In determining whether to order a person under the age of eighteen to leave the premises, the police officer may consider the following factors:

(i) Age of the person;

(ii) Relationship between the person and the family or household member upon whom the police officer reasonably believes the abuse has been inflicted; and

(iii) Ability and willingness of the parent, guardian, or other authorized adult to maintain custody and control over the person;

A copy of the warning citation shall be retained by the police officer and attached to a written report which shall be submitted in all cases. A third copy of the warning citation shall be given to the abused person;

(e) If the person so ordered refuses to comply with the order to leave the premises or returns to the premises before the expiration of the period of separation, or if the person so ordered initiates any contact with the abused person, the person shall be placed under arrest for the purpose of preventing further physical abuse or harm to the family or household member; and

(f) The police officer shall seize all firearms and ammunition that the police officer has reasonable grounds to believe were used or threatened to be used in the commission of an offense under this section.

(5) The penalties for the offense of abuse of a family or household member shall be as follows:

Upon conviction and sentencing of the defendant, the court [~~shall~~] may order that the defendant immediately be incarcerated to serve the mandatory minimum sentence imposed; provided that the defendant may be admitted to bail pending appeal pursuant to chapter 804. The court may stay the imposition of the sentence if special circumstances exist.

(6) Whenever a court sentences a person or grants a motion for deferral pursuant to subsection (5), it also shall require that the offender [~~undergo~~] complete within a specified time frame any available domestic violence intervention programs and, if the offense involved the presence of or abuse of a minor, any available parenting classes ordered by the court. The court shall revoke the defendant's probation or set aside the defendant's deferred acceptance of guilty plea and enter an adjudication of guilt, if applicable, and sentence or resentence the defendant to the maximum term of incarceration if:

(a) The defendant fails to complete, within the specified time frame, any domestic violence intervention programs or parenting classes ordered by the court; or

(b) The defendant violates any other term or condition of the defendant's probation or deferral imposed by the court;

provided that, after a hearing on an order to show cause, the court finds that the defendant has failed to show good cause why the defendant has not timely completed the domestic violence intervention programs or parenting classes, if applicable, or why the defendant violated any other term or condition of the defendant's sentence. However, the court may suspend any portion of a jail sentence, except for the mandatory sentences under subsection [~~(5)(a) and (b),~~] (5)(a)(i) and (ii), upon the condition that the defendant remain arrest-free and conviction-free or complete court-ordered intervention.

The court may waive the subsequent hearing and appearance where a court officer has established that the person has completed the intervention ordered by the court.

PART II

SECTION 4. The legislature finds that certain laws of the State were enacted to assist victims of domestic and sexual violence. For example, certain provisions in the Hawaii Revised Statutes address early termination of a shared cell phone contract or rental agreement by victims. However, the legislature also finds that when victims attempt to obtain assistance under these laws, they must show proof of their victim status. This is complicated by the fact that the types of documents accepted as proof of domestic or sexual violence victim status vary among the different laws, even though the actual substance of the requirements is similar. As a result, victims may be discouraged from trying to seek assistance under these laws.

The purpose of this part is to make consistent the types of documents accepted as proof of domestic or sexual violence victim status.

SECTION 5. Section 378-2, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:

"(b) For purposes of subsection (a)(1):

~~(i)~~ ~~An employee, agent, or volunteer of a victim services organization;~~

~~(ii)~~ ~~The employee's attorney or advocate;~~

~~(iii)~~ ~~The~~ ~~attorney or advocate of the employee's minor child;~~

~~(iv)~~ ~~A medical or other health care professional; or~~

~~(v)~~ ~~A member of the clergy; or~~

~~(B)~~ ~~A police or court record supporting the occurrence of the domestic or sexual violence; and~~]

(A) Certified or exemplified restraining orders, injunctions against harassment, and documents from criminal cases;

(B) Documentation from a victim services organization or domestic or sexual violence program, agency, or facility, including a shelter or safe house for victims of domestic or sexual violence; or

(C) Documentation from a medical professional, mental health care provider, attorney, advocate, social worker, or member of the clergy from whom the employee or the employee's minor child has sought assistance in relation to the domestic or sexual violence; and

(2) An employer may verify an employee's status as a domestic or sexual violence victim not more than once every six months following the date the employer:

(A) Was provided notice by the employee of the employee's status as a domestic or sexual violence victim;

(B) Has actual knowledge of the employee's status as a domestic or sexual violence victim; or

provided that where the employee provides verification in the form of a protective order related to the domestic or sexual violence with an expiration date, the employer may not request any further form of verification of the employee's status as a domestic or sexual violence victim until the date of the expiration or any extensions of the protective order, whichever is later."

SECTION 6. Section 378-72, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (d) to read as follows:

If the leave exceeds five days per calendar year, then the certification shall be provided by one of the following methods:

"(b) The department may request as reasonable and confidential documentation under subsection (a)(1) the following evidence:

"(a) In applying the provisions of section 383-30(1), an individual who has established eligibility based on full-time employment may be found to have good cause for voluntarily separating from subsequent part-time employment based on any of the following conditions:

(1) Loss of full-time work with a regular employer made it economically unfeasible to continue part-time employment;

(2) The part-time employment was outside the individual's customary occupation and would not have been considered suitable work at the time the individual accepted part-time employment. In determining whether an individual is reasonably fitted for a particular job, the department shall consider:

Evidence includes [police records, court records, statements from the individual, a volunteer of a victim services organization, the employee's attorney or advocate, a member of the clergy, medical, or other professional from whom the employee has sought assistance related to the domestic or sexual violence, or other corroborating evidence.]:
