Officers separate people and interview the possible victim away from the suspect.
The bill tells police officers answering a family violence call to separate the people at the scene and interview the possible victim where the suspect cannot intimidate them.

On the ground, officers must, when practicable, block eye contact, use separate rooms indoors, and keep the suspect out of earshot or behind a barrier while the victim gives statements, starting September 1, 2025.
