Section 388-60-0025. What is the purpose of this chapter?

(1) This chapter establishes minimum standards for programs that treat perpetrators of domestic violence.

(2) These standards apply to any program that:

(a) Advertises that it provides domestic violence perpetrator treatment; or

(b) Defines its services as meeting court orders that require enrollment in and/or completion of domestic violence perpetrator treatment.

(3) These programs provide treatment only to perpetrators of domestic violence, including clients who are self-referred or those who are court-ordered to attend treatment.

(4) An agency may administer other service programs in addition to domestic violence perpetrator treatment services; however, the domestic violence perpetrator treatment program must be considered a separate and distinct program from all other services the agency provides.
