These include the use of grant funds to develop policies and protocols to recover, store, and return firearms in domestic violence cases in accordance with court orders and to provide alternatives to the traditional justice system when doing so desired by the victim and when such alternatives do not compromise victim or community safety. It also establishes new crimes (dating violence and stalking firearms prohibitors) and discourages compelling victim testimony in domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking cases. It also addresses reforming the prison system to be more responsive to the needs of women. H.R.1585 passed the House of Representatives. We also support S.2843, which is the companion to H.R.1585. We are on hiatus from working with the Senate on a bipartisan compromise bill. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are also seeking supplemental appropriations for STOP grants to distributed exclusively to victim service providers and other Violence Against Women Act grants to improve survivors' access to safety and justice. Moreover, we are seeking provisions in the next supplemental appropriations bill to increase deposits into the Crime Victims Fund and waive grant matching requirements. We are also preparing to push it through other mechanisms, including in appropriations bills. We are expanding the bill to also increase the percentage of state victim compensation funds that the federal government matches from 60% to 75%, plus an extra 7.5% that would result from a change in the way OVC addresses state restitution. | Bureau of Citizenship & Immigration Services (BCIS),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Housing & Urban Development, Dept of (HUD),Justice, Dept of (DOJ),SENATE | 20000 | 0 | 0 | 2020-10-02T08:40:30.953000-04:00 |
