With the establishment of Mary's Law in 2008, Michigan joined states like Massachusetts, Oklahoma and Hawaii in empowering courts to require domestic violence offenders to wear GPS tracking units as part of a no contact order or as a condition of their release.

Mary's Law was named in honor of Mary Babb, a resident of Isabella County, Michigan, who despite moving out of the family home, filing for divorce and obtaining a no contact order, was attacked and killed by her estranged husband in 2007. Despite all of the protections provided under the law, neither Mary Babb nor law enforcement officials had any warning that her husband was approaching her location in violation of her no contact order.

In response to the new protections available under Mary's Law, Community Corrections for Isabella County began leveraging a GPS electronic monitoring program provided by Omnilink Systems to track both domestic violence victims and offenders.
