More detail
A judge must require electronic monitoring, when available, and no contact with the victim as release conditions. This applies to a person charged with a felony domestic violence offense that caused physical harm to another person. These requirements apply when the person is released on their own promise to return to court or after paying bail. The conditions apply when the person is released before trial; electronic monitoring is required only where available.
