Kentucky Considers Domestic Violence Registry | Lexington News

Kentucky lawmakers are pushing a new bill to create a public registry for repeat domestic violence offenders—only activating after a second conviction—to help people, especially in dating contexts, avoid abusers. Inspired by sex offender registries but focused on domestic abuse, the bill would also require online dating services to screen users and flag violent histories. While supporters argue it’s about factual transparency and protecting potential victims, critics debate whether first-time offenders should be shielded at all. Though no vote occurred during the current interim session, the bill will return in January—this isn’t the first attempt, but survivors say even a small tool like this could save lives.
