Increases the minimum penalty for persons convicted of domestic abuse in the presence of a child for the 1st time from 6 months-1 year to 1-5 years. The first offense is also designated as a felony. The maximum fine is increased from $5,000.00 to $7,000.00. Is this based on allegations or multiple witnesses?
