5A.04.045 Judgments of Conviction.

(a) When entering a judgment of conviction
for a crime involving domestic violence, the
Court shall:
(1) consider the entry of orders for the
protection of the victim, including those set
out in LCL 5A.04.010(b)(1)-(6);
(2) order the defendant to obtain a domestic
violence evaluation and to comply with all
treatment recommendations, including
additional recommendations that may be
made during treatment;
(3) order restitution as warranted; and
(4) order the defendant to pay $50 into a
victim impact fund to be maintained by the
Lummi Victims of Crime office.

[…]

(c) Satisfactory completion of domestic
violence treatment required under this
section must be based on meeting treatment
goals, not merely the completion of a certain
period of time or certain number of sessions.
The treatment must focus on ending the
violence and holding the defendant
accountable for his or her violence. The
treatment must include education about the
individual, family, and cultural dynamics of
domestic violence. If the defendant or the
victim has a minor child, treatment must
include education about the effects of
domestic violence on children. The defendant
must sign privacy releases for the treatment
provider to obtain any confidential
information that is necessary to the treatment.
The defendant must also sign a release for the
treatment provider to provide information to
the probation office in order to monitor
compliance with the Court order.
