The Legislature provides funding, through the Attorney General's Office, for the training of municipal and county prosecutors in the prosecution of domestic violence offenses. Since 1991, Utah Prosecution Council has sponsored an annual, multi-disciplinary Domestic Violence Conference at which prosecutors meet and confer with domestic violence professionals from other agencies.
UCA 51-9-406 creates the Victims of Domestic Violence Services restricted account. Up to .5% of surcharges on criminal fines, penalties and forfeitures is required to be allocated to the Attorney General for training municipal and county attorneys in the prosecution of domestic violence offenses.
