domestic violence deferred sentencing agreements;
  (4) A requirement that the designated batterers' intervention
program must report to the defendant's local supervisory
authority any criminal assaults, threats to harm the victim or
any substantial violation of the program's rules by the
defendant; and
  (5) Standards for batterers' intervention programs that are
most likely to end domestic violence and increase victims'
safety. + }
  SECTION 2.  { + (1) A local supervisory authority, in
consultation with a local domestic violence coordinating council
recognized by this state or a county, may periodically review
batterers' intervention programs located within the jurisdiction
of the local supervisory authority for compliance with rules
promulgated under section 1 of this 2001 Act.
  (2) If a review is completed under subsection (1) of this
section, a copy of the review shall be sent by the local
supervisory authority to the presiding judge and the district
attorney for the county in which the local supervisory authority
operates. + }
