Gov. Haley Was Joined By Members Of The S.C. Domestic Violence Task Force And Solicitors From Around The State
\n<\/em>COLUMBIA, S.C. \u2013 <\/strong>Governor Nikki Haley, members of the South Carolina Domestic Violence Task Force, and solicitors from around the state held a Statehouse press conference today announcing the implementation of the first set of significant, statewide reforms to address domestic violence in South Carolina.
\nLess than a year after the Task Force presented her with recommendations, Governor Haley announced that 10 of those recommendations have been addressed through a combination of Executive Orders, the governor\u2019s Executive Budget, and agreements with state boards and non-government associations.
\nActions taken by Governor Haley and the S.C. Task Force:
\n<\/strong>\u2022 Governor Haley announced that her Executive Budget for 2016-2017 will fund new prosecutors, new judges, and new public defenders to end the practice of law enforcement officers prosecuting domestic violence crimes in the courtroom, which will also reduce caseloads, decrease backlogs, and ensure that a dedicated prosecutor is assigned to every county in South Carolina.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Executive Order 2016-02 <\/a>\u2013 extends the Task Force to ensure that all 50 Task Force recommendations will be completed and that meaningful results are rendered for the people of South Carolina.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Executive Order 2016-03<\/a> \u2013 orders that all Cabinet agencies adopt a comprehensive HR policy for domestic violence that includes procedures for confidentiality, safety and security, performance and leave, and educating employees regarding available resources.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Executive Order 2016-04<\/a> \u2013 orders certain Cabinet agencies that offer direct client services to adopt a risk assessment screening policy for domestic violence.<\/div>\n
\u2022 The Task Force has received commitments from nine professional boards to include domestic violence training in their continuing education: \u00a0Doctors, Nurses, Dentists, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Pharmacists, Social Workers, Cosmetologists, and Counselors and Therapists.<\/div>\n
\u2022 The Task Force has created a one-page regional brochure to be printed from LLR\u2019s website for those professional boards to distribute and make available in offices in all parts of the state.<\/div>\n
\u2022 The Task Force has created a standardized reporting form for local governments to use when sending their annual report to the Treasurer\u2019s Office of how criminal fines and fees are spent on victim services.
