The Assembly Public Safety Committee advanced SB 99 to the Appropriations Committee on June 23 after hearing testimony on coordination between civilian authorities and the military in domestic violence cases.

According to the committee’s hearing materials, the bill centers on military protective orders and how courts and law enforcement handle them when domestic violence issues arise. Testimony in support included the U.S. Department of Defense, which was identified in the hearing record as a sponsor of the measure.

The committee action moves SB 99 one step closer to floor consideration. The available hearing summary and transcript excerpt do not provide a clean final roll-call tally, and the broader text of the bill was not included in the supporting materials reviewed for this draft.

Supporters cited the bill as a targeted family-violence policy, while the hearing record available here is limited to the committee’s action and the general subject matter of the measure.
