Amy's Law made it mandatory for police officers to fill out a 20-question danger assessment questionnaire in any case involving an arrest or investigation of a domestic violence incident. The bill also requires all violent offenders to appear before a judge before being released on bail or bond. Judges are provided with a copy of the risk assessment questionnaire during the bail hearing for the accused to aid them in making an informed decision. The assessment provides information on the severity of the offense, the mental health of the offender, and whether or not the suspect is a threat to any other person, among other risk factors.
