                TITLE VII--ECONOMIC SECURITY FOR VICTIMS

SEC. 701. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) More than 1 in 3 women and nearly 1 in 3 men experience 
        sexual violence, and 1 in 5 women have survived completed or 
        attempted rape. Such violence has a devastating impact on 
        women's physical and emotional health, financial security, and 
        ability to maintain their jobs, and thus impacts interstate 
        commerce and economic security.
            (2) The Office on Violence Against Women of the Department 
        of Justice defines domestic violence as a pattern of abusive 
        behavior in any relationship that is used by one intimate 
        partner to gain or maintain power and control over another 
        intimate partner. Domestic violence can include physical, 
        sexual, emotional, economic, or psychological actions or 
        threats of actions that influence another person. Domestic 
        violence includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, 
        humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, 
        blame, hurt, injure, or wound an individual.
            (3) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report 
        that domestic violence or intimate partner violence is a 
        serious public health issue for millions of individuals in the 
        United States. Nearly 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men in the United 
        States have suffered sexual violence, physical violence, or 
        stalking by an intimate partner.
            (4) Transgender and gender non-conforming people face 
        extraordinary levels of physical and sexual violence.
            (5) More than 1 in 4 transgender people have faced bias-
        driven assault, and this rate is higher for trans women and 
        trans people of color.
            (6) The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention has 
        found that transgender and gender non-conforming people had an 
        elevated prevalence of suicide attempts, especially when they 
        have suffered physical or sexual violence.
            (7) Homicide is one of the leading causes of death for 
        women on the job. Domestic partners or relatives commit 43 
        percent of workplace homicides against women. One study found 
        that intimate partner violence resulted in 142 homicides among 
        women at work in the United States from 2003 to 2008, a figure 
        which represents 22 percent of the 648 workplace homicides 
        among women during the period. In fact, in 2010, homicides 
        against women at work increased by 13 percent despite 
        continuous declines in overall workplace homicides in recent 
        years.
            (8) Women in the United States are 25 times more likely to 
        be murdered with guns than women in other high-income 
        countries. Female intimate partners are more likely to be 
        murdered with a firearm than all other means combined. The 
        presence of a gun in domestic violence situations increases the 
        risk of homicide for women by 500 percent.
            (9) Violence can have a dramatic impact on the survivor of 
        such violence. Studies indicate that 44 percent of surveyed 
        employed adults experienced the effect of domestic violence in 
        the workplace, and 64 percent indicated their workplace 
        performance was affected by such violence. Another recent 
        survey found that 78 percent of offenders used workplace 
        resources to express anger, check up on, pressure, or threaten 
        a survivor. Sexual assault, whether occurring in or out of the 
        workplace, can impair an employee's work performance, require 
        time away from work, and undermine the employee's ability to 
        maintain a job. Nearly 50 percent of sexual assault survivors 
        lose their jobs or are forced to quit in the aftermath of the 
        assaults.
            (10) Studies find that 60 percent of single women lack 
        economic security and 81 percent of households with single 
        mothers live in economic insecurity. Significant barriers that 
        survivors confront include access to housing, transportation, 
        and child care. Ninety-two percent of homeless women have 
        experienced domestic violence, and more than 50 percent of such 
        women cite domestic violence as the direct cause for 
        homelessness. Survivors are deprived of their autonomy, 
        liberty, and security, and face tremendous threats to their 
        health and safety.
            (11) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report 
        that survivors of severe intimate partner violence lose nearly 
        8 million days of paid work, which is the equivalent of more 
        than 32,000 full-time jobs and almost 5,600,000 days of 
        household productivity each year. Therefore, women 
        disproportionately need time off to care for their health or to 
        find safety solutions, such as obtaining a restraining order or 
        finding housing, to avoid or prevent further violence.
            (12) Annual costs of intimate partner violence are 
        estimated to be more than $8,300,000,000. According to the 
        Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the costs of 
        intimate partner violence against women in 1995 exceeded an 
        estimated $5,800,000,000. These costs included nearly 
        $4,100,000,000 in the direct costs of medical and mental health 
        care and nearly $1,800,000,000 in the indirect costs of lost 
        productivity. These statistics are generally considered to be 
        underestimated because the costs associated with the criminal 
        justice system are not included.
            (13) Sixty-one percent of senior executives recently 
        surveyed said domestic violence has a harmful effect on their 
        company's productivity, and more than 70 percent said domestic 
        violence negatively affects attendance. Seventy-eight percent 
        of human resources professionals consider partner violence a 
        workplace issue. However, more than 70 percent of United States 
        workplaces have no formal program or policy that addresses 
        workplace violence, let alone domestic violence. In fact, only 
        four percent of employers provided training on domestic 
        violence.
            (14) Studies indicate that one of the best predictors of 
        whether a survivor will be able to stay away from his or her 
        abuser is the degree of his or her economic independence. 
        However, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, 
        and stalking often negatively impact a survivor's ability to 
        maintain employment.
            (15) Abusers frequently seek to exert financial control 
        over their partners by actively interfering with their ability 
        to work, including preventing their partners from going to 
        work, harassing their partners at work, limiting their 
        partners' access to cash or transportation, and sabotaging 
        their partners' child care arrangements.
            (16) Economic abuse refers to behaviors that control an 
        intimate partner's ability to acquire, use, and maintain access 
        to, money, credit, ownership of assets, or access to 
        governmental or private financial benefits, including 
        defaulting on joint obligations (such as school loans, credit 
        card debt, mortgages, or rent). Other forms of such abuse may 
        include preventing someone from attending school, threatening 
        to or actually terminating employment, controlling or 
        withholding access to cash, checking, or credit accounts, and 
        attempting to damage or sabotage the creditworthiness of an 
        intimate partner, including forcing an intimate partner to 
        write bad checks, forcing an intimate partner to default on 
        payments related to household needs, such as housing, or 
        forcing an intimate partner into bankruptcy.
            (17) The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public 
        Law 111-148), and the amendments made by such Act, ensures that 
        most health plans must cover preventive services, including 
        screening and counseling for domestic violence, at no 
        additional cost. In addition, it prohibits insurance companies 
        from discriminating against patients for preexisting 
        conditions, like domestic violence.
            (18) Yet, more can be done to help survivors. Federal law 
        in effect on the day before the date of enactment of this Act 
        does not explicitly--
                    (A) authorize survivors of domestic violence, 
                dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking to take 
                leave from work to seek legal assistance and redress, 
                counseling, or assistance with safety planning 
                activities;
                    (B) address the eligibility of survivors of 
                domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or 
                stalking for unemployment compensation;
                    (C) provide job protection to survivors of domestic 
                violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking;
                    (D) prohibit insurers and employers who self-insure 
                employee benefits from discriminating against survivors 
                of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, 
                or stalking and those who help them in determining 
                eligibility, rates charged, and standards for payment 
                of claims; or
                    (E) prohibit insurers from disclosing information 
                about abuse and the location of the survivors through 
                insurance databases and other means.
            (19) This Act aims to empower survivors of domestic 
        violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking to be 
        free from violence, hardship, and control, which restrains 
        basic human rights to freedom and safety in the United States.

                        State legislature.

                    (B) Extension of effective date for state law 
                amendment.--In the case of a State plan under part A of 
                title IV of the Social Security Act which the Secretary

                action (including legislation, regulation, or other 
                administrative action) in order for the plan to meet 
                the additional requirements imposed by the amendment 
                made by subsection (c), the State plan shall not be 
                regarded as failing to comply with the requirements of 
                such amendment on the basis of its failure to meet 
                these additional requirements before the first day of 
                the first calendar quarter beginning after the close of 
                the first regular session of the State legislature that 
                begins after the date of enactment of this Act. For 
                purposes of the previous sentence, in the case of a 
                State that has a 2-year legislative session, each year 
                of the session is considered to be a separate regular 
                session of the State legislature.
    (f) Definitions.--In this section, the terms ``domestic violence'', 
``sexual assault'', ``stalking'', ``survivor of domestic violence,

Code of 1986.

on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions of the Senate a report that 
examines, with respect to survivors of domestic violence, dating

                   TITLE IX--SAFETY FOR INDIAN WOMEN

SEC. 901. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) American Indians and Alaska Natives are--
                    (A) 2.5 times more likely to experience a violent 
                crime; and
                    (B) at least 2 times more likely to experience a 
                rape or sexual assault crime;
            (2) 84.3 percent of American Indian and Alaska Native women 
        have experienced violence in their lifetimes;
            (3) according to the report of the Indian Law and Order 
        Commission under section 15(f) of the Indian Law Enforcement 
        Reform Act (25 U.S.C. 2812(f)), Alaska Native women are 
        overrepresented in the domestic violence victim population by 
        250 percent;
            (4) the vast majority of American Indian and Alaska Native 
        victims, 96 percent of female victims and 89 percent of male 
        victims, report being victimized by a non-Indian;
            (5) Indian Tribes exercising special domestic violence 
        criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians restored in the Violence 
        Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (Public Law 113-4; 
        127 Stat. 54) have reported significant successes holding 
        violent offenders accountable for crimes of domestic violence, 
        dating violence, and civil protection order violations;
            (6) Tribal prosecutors for Indian Tribes exercising special 
        domestic violence criminal jurisdiction report that the 
        majority of domestic violence cases involve children as either

            (7) the Department of Justice reports that American Indian 
        and Alaska Native children suffer exposure to violence at 1 of 
        the highest rates in the United States;
            (8) childhood exposure to violence has immediate and long-
        term effects, including--
                    (A) increased rates of altered neurological 
                development;
                    (B) poor physical and mental health;
                    (C) poor school performance;
                    (D) substance abuse; and
                    (E) overrepresentation in the juvenile justice 
                system;
            (9) according to the Centers for Disease Control and 
        Prevention, homicide is--
                    (A) the third leading cause of death among American 
                Indian and Alaska Native women between the ages of 10 
                and 24; and
                    (B) the fifth leading cause of death for American 
                Indian and Alaska Native women between the ages of 25 
                and 34;
            (10) on some reservations, Indian women are murdered at 
        rates of more than 10 times the national average;
            (11) according to the 2017 report by the Department of 
        Justice entitled ``Indian Country Investigations and 
        Prosecutions'', 66 percent of criminal prosecutions for crimes 
        in Indian country that United States attorneys declined to 
        prosecute involved assault, murder, and sexual assault;
            (12) investigation into cases of missing and murdered 
        Indian women is made difficult for Tribal law enforcement 
        agencies due to a lack of resources, such as--
                    (A) necessary training, equipment, or funding;
                    (B) interjurisdictional and interagency 
                cooperation; and
                    (C) appropriate laws in effect;
            (13) domestic violence calls are among the most dangerous 
        calls that law enforcement receives;
            (14) the complicated jurisdictional scheme that exists in 
        Indian country--
                    (A) requires a high degree of commitment and 
                cooperation among Tribal, Federal, and State law 
                enforcement officials;
                    (B) impacts public safety in Indian communities; 
                and
                    (C) according to Tribal justice officials, has been 
                increasingly exploited by criminals;
            (15) restoring and enhancing local and Tribal capacity to 
        address violence against women provides for greater local 
        control, safety, accountability, and transparency; and
            (16) Indian Tribes with restrictive settlement Acts and 
        Indian Tribes located in States with authority under the 
        amendments made by the Act of August 15, 1953 (67 Stat. 590, 
        chapter 506), such as Indian Tribes located in the States of 
        Maine and Alaska, face unique public safety challenges.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are--
            (1) to clarify the responsibilities of Federal, State, 
        Tribal, and local governments with respect to responding to 
        cases of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, 
        trafficking, sexual violence, crimes against children, and 
        assault against Tribal law enforcement officers;
            (2) to increase coordination and communication among 
        Federal, State, Tribal, and local law enforcement agencies;
            (3) to empower Indian Tribes and Native communities, 
        including urban Indian communities, with the resources and 
        information necessary to effectively respond to cases of 
        domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, sex trafficking, 
        sexual violence, and missing and murdered Indians; and
            (4) to increase--
                    (A) the collection of law enforcement data, 
                especially data relating to missing Indians and 
                murdered Indians; and
                    (B) the sharing of information among Federal, 
                State, and Tribal officials responsible for responding 
                to, and investigating, crimes impacting Indian tribes 
                and Native communities, including urban Indian 
                communities, especially crimes relating to cases of 
                missing and murdered Indians.
