(Salt Lake City, UT) — Governor Spencer Cox on Monday signed a bill that requires law enforcement officers to conduct so-called lethality assessments when they respond to reports of domestic violence between intimate partners. Questions Utah law enforcement officers are required to ask under the new law include whether the aggressor has ever used or threatened the victim with a weapon, if the aggressor has ever threatened to kill the victim or victim’s children, tried to choke the victim, or if the victim believes the aggressor will try to kill the victim. Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson strongly supported the bill after her cousin was killed by the woman’s ex-husband last August.
