RADIO | Rep. Peter Abbarno joins Ari Hoffman on KVI to discuss his bill to right our court system to focus on crime victims

January 21, 2026

House Republican Caucus Chair Peter Abbarno joins Ari Hoffman on KVI Radio to discuss his legislation, House Bill 2430.

In the interview, Abbarno explains why this bill is a necessary step to rebalance the court system and place the focus back where it belongs: on the victims of crime. He shares insights from discussions with victim advocacy groups who are increasingly asking what can be done to support survivors, particularly those of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Addressing the impact of previous legislation (House Bill 1169) which eliminated certain financial accountabilities for offenders, Rep. Abbarno details how House Bill 2430 seeks to right this wrong by ensuring dangerous criminals contribute to the services victims rely on.
