New law going into effect in July aiming to protect victims of domestic violence

HELENA, Mont. – A new law is going into effect starting July that aims to protect victims of domestic violence in Montana.

In early May, Governor Greg Gianforte signed House Bill 449, resulting in a revision of the state’s domestic violence (DV) laws, making it easier for judges to order GPS monitoring for those suspected of certain DV and stalking charges, according to a release from SCRAM Systems.
