          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Strengthening Protections for Domestic Violence and Stalking Survivors Act of 2023&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill extends federal firearms-related restrictions to individuals who are convicted of a misdemeanor crime of stalking. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The term&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;misdemeanor crime of stalking&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;means an offense that is a misdemeanor under federal, state, tribal, or local law and has a course of harassment, intimidation, or surveillance that (1) causes emotional distress, or (2) places a person in reasonable fear of harm to themselves, an immediate family member, an individual who shares or has shared a residence, an intimate partner, or a pet. The term&lt;i&gt; intimate partner&lt;/i&gt; includes an individual who is or was in a dating relationship with the person or any other individual similarly situated to a spouse. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Additionally, the bill extends federal firearms-related restrictions to individuals who are subject to a court order restraining them from harassing, stalking, or threatening an individual who is in a current or former dating relationship with them or who is similarly situated to a spouse. Currently, federal firearms-related restrictions generally only apply to individuals who are subject to a court order restraining them from harassing, stalking, or threatening a co-parent of a child, a current or former spouse, or a current or former cohabitant.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
