668	668	all alleged victims of domestic violence, stalking, harassment,
669	669	sexual assault, or forcible sodomy where the defendant is alleged to
670	670	have violated a protective order, committed domestic assault and

675	675	emergency protective order pursuant to the Pr otection from Domestic

739	739	System (GPS) monitoring device for such term as the court deems
740	740	appropriate as long as the protective order or restraining order
741	741	remains in effect. Upon application of the victim, the court may
742	742	authorize the victim t o monitor the location of the defendant. Such
743	743	monitoring by the victim shall be limited to the ability of the
744	744	victim to make computer or cellular inquiries to determine if the
745	745	defendant is within a specified distance of locations, excluding the
746	746	residence or workplace of the defendant, or to receive a computer -
747	747	or a cellular-generated signal if the defendant comes within a
748	748	specified distance of the victim. The court shall conduct an annual
749	749	review of the monitoring order to determine if such order to monito r
750	750	the location of the defendant is still necessary. Before the court
751	751	orders the use of a GPS device, the court shall find that the
752	752	defendant has a history that demonstrates an intent to commit
753	753	violence against the victim, including, but not limited to, pr ior
754	754	conviction for an offense under the Protection from Domestic Abuse
755	755	Act or any other violent offense, or any other evidence that shows
756	756	by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant is likely to
757	757	commit violence against the victim. The court may further order the
758	758	defendant to pay costs and expenses related to the GPS devic e and
759	759	monitoring.
760	760	SECTION 3. This act shall become effective July 1, 2025.
