Vawa Technical Amendment Act of 2022

Floor Speech

Date: Dec. 14, 2022
Location: Washington, DC


S. 7, the VAWA Technical Amendment Act of 2022, makes a very small technical amendment to the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization that was signed into law in March of this year.

The Violence Against Women Act provides resources to law enforcement and others to address the needs of those who have survived domestic violence, sexual assault, sex trafficking, and other crimes against women. S. 7 ensures that Native Hawaiian survivors will also have access to programs and resources provided under the act.

Currently, the Attorney General is directed to make Violence Against Women Act grants to assist Indian Tribes. This bill makes Native Hawaiian communities eligible for the same grants.
