Provides that these agencies shall have access to summaries of the defendant's criminal history, which shall not include victim interviews or information, for the risk evaluation. Provides that in every domestic violence case that will affect the amount of bail or require electronic monitoring, the defendant shall pay for the cost of electronic monitoring.
