Debbie and Marie Domestic Violence Protection Act Signed into Law

On Tuesday, Gov. Bill Lee signed into law that requires domestic violence offenders who use a weapon or strangle their victims during an assault to wear a GPS monitor while out on bail.

The Debbie and Marie Domestic Violence Protection Act is named after mother, Debbie Sisco, and daughter, Marie Varsos, who were killed by Varsos’ estranged husband, Shaun Varsos in Lebanon in April 2021. The legislation, which passed this past session, will require the GPS monitoring company to alert law enforcement and the domestic violence victim if the offender is close by.
