'Gabby Petito Act' seeks to add early intervention in domestic violence cases


Two state Democratic lawmakers are pushing for law enforcement to take an extra step when investigating possible domestic violence cases.

The newly-filed bill is known as the "Gabby Petito Act.”

State Sen. Lauren Book and Rep. Robin Bartleman introduced the legislation, which would require officers responding to a domestic violence call to fill out a form with the Department of Justice assessing the likelihood of injury or death.
