St. Catharines MPP Jennie Stevens is encouraging MPPs to pass the Intimate Partner Violence Disclosure Act.
Stevens' private members bill is meant to help people apply for information on whether or not their romantic partner has a history of domestic violence offences.
It will also allow police to provide warnings to people regardless of whether or not they apply.
Stevens says if passed, the bill will help protect women from becoming victims of domestic violence.
"There is so much more we can do to protect women from intimate partner violence, this bill from the NDP is one more way to protect women, and empower them to protect themselves. The pandemic has further isolated women from their social networks and access to community organizations, which makes providing tools to women even more valuable. This bill makes it harder for violent abusers to hide their crimes from their next partner."
