Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- Judges and prosecutors will be able to enforce residence, exclusion, and contact bans more effectively using electronic monitoring tools.
- This applies to suspects and convicted offenders in domestic violence cases, victims, and the justice agencies overseeing compliance.
- If you are a victim, your explicit consent is required to track a contact ban electronically, and you may request to start, stop, or resume this monitoring at any time.
