OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A bill to provide electronic monitoring and real-time victim notification is close to becoming state law, several months after a Vancouver, Washington, woman was killed by her estranged husband.

The Washington state House voted 96-0 Wednesday to approve Senate Bill 5149, named “The Tiffany Hill Act.”

The former Marine sergeant was fatally shot Nov. 26 in her minivan outside a Vancouver elementary school. Hill’s husband had been arrested in September for domestic violence and was free on bail and blocked by court order from having any contact with Hill when he shot her.

He killed himself following a short police chase.

The bill is expected to make to the desk of Gov. Jay Inslee to be signed into law.
