Domestic Violence Victims Bill Authored By Mosbrucker Signed

A bill authored by Washington 14th District State Representative Gina Mosbrucker that would provide information to domestic violence victims about the signs and symptoms of traumatic brain injuries was signed into law by Governor Jay Inslee.  Under House Bill 1532, the Department of Social and Health Services will work with the Washington Traumatic Brain Injury Strategic Partnership Advisory Council to develop a statewide website for domestic violence victims with information regarding TBI.  An educational TBI handout will also be developed.  The measure also seeks to increase law enforcement training to recognize the signs and symptoms of TBI and encourages officers responding to domestic violence incidents to inform victims of the website.  Mosbrucker says battered domestic violence survivors frequently do not recognize the severity of their injuries.  The measure takes effect in late July.
