Urges Congress to reauthorize "Violence Against Women Act."
ACR 111 is a New Jersey Assembly resolution urging Congress to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which expired in 2019. VAWA is a federal law that provides funding and resources to combat domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking, supporting victims through improved law enforcement responses, court protections, and victim services. The resolution references current reauthorization efforts (like H.R. 1620) that include expanded firearm restrictions for abusers, enhanced protections for Native American women, and increased legal assistance for victims. As a symbolic request - not a binding law - it directs copies to Congress, the Department of Justice, and New Jersey’s congressional delegation to encourage federal action.
