                TITLE VII--ECONOMIC SECURITY FOR VICTIMS

SEC. 701. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Over 1 in 3 women 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) 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.
            (3) 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.
            (4) 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.
            (5) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report 
        that survivors of severe intimate partner violence lose nearly 
        8,000,000 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.
            (6) 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.
            (7) Fifty-five 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 
        4 percent of employers provided training on domestic violence.
            (8) Harassment is a persistent and significant problem in 
        the workplace in the United States, and the Equal Employment 
        Opportunity Commission found that not less than 25 percent, and 
        as many as 85 percent, of women surveyed report having 
        experienced sexual harassment at work.
            (9) For decades, survivors of sexual violence have come 
        forward to seek justice and demand their right to be free from 
        violence, harassment, and other forms of discrimination. These 
        calls for change reached a tipping point after October 2017 as 
        a result of Tarana Burke's work and #MeToo going viral. 
        Thousands of courageous individuals, from Hollywood to the 
        halls of Congress and the military, to restaurants, 
        agricultural fields, and factory floors, shined a light on the 
        pervasive and insidious nature of workplace harassment and 
        sexual assault.
            (10) Working people can be subjected to multiple forms of 
        harassment in the workplace at the same time.
            (11) According to the Equal Employment Opportunity 
        Commission, approximately 3 out of 4 individuals who experience 
        harassment never talked to a supervisor, manager, or union 
        representative about the harassing conduct.
            (12) The impact of domestic violence, dating violence, 
        sexual assault, and stalking on the workplace is a part of the 
        challenge of workplace harassment.
            (13) 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.
            (14) 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.
            (15) 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 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.
            (16) This title 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.

        inserting ``$2,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2023 through

                  TITLE VIII--SAFETY FOR INDIAN WOMEN

      Subtitle A--Tools to Enhance Public Safety for Indian Tribes

SEC. 801. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) American Indians and Alaska Natives are--
                    (A) 2.5 times as likely to experience violent 
                crimes; and
                    (B) at least 2 times more likely to experience rape 
                or sexual assault crimes;
            (2) more than 4 in 5 American Indian and Alaska Native 
        women have experienced violence in their lifetime;
            (3) the vast majority of American Indian and Alaska Native 
        victims of violence--96 percent of women victims and 89 percent 
        of male victims--have experienced sexual violence by a non-
        Indian perpetrator at least once in their lifetime;
            (4) Indian Tribes exercising special domestic violence 
        criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians pursuant to section 204 
        of Public Law 90-284 (25 U.S.C. 1304) (commonly known as the 
        ``Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968''), restored by section 904 
        of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 
        (Public Law 113-4; 127 Stat. 120), have reported significant 
        success holding violent offenders accountable for crimes of 
        domestic violence, dating violence, and civil protection order 
        violations;
            (5) Tribal prosecutors for Indian Tribes exercising special 
        domestic violence criminal jurisdiction report that the 
        majority of domestic violence cases involve children either as 
        witnesses or victims, and the Department of Justice reports 
        that American Indian and Alaska Native children suffer exposure 
        to violence at one of the highest rates in the United States;
            (6) childhood exposure to violence can have immediate and 
        long-term effects, including increased rates of altered 
        neurological development, poor physical and mental health, poor 
        school performance, substance abuse, and overrepresentation in 
        the juvenile justice system;
            (7) 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 10 and 24 years 
                of age; and
                    (B) the fifth leading cause of death for American 
                Indian and Alaska Native women between 25 and 34 years 
                of age;
            (8) in some areas of the United States, Native American 
        women are murdered at rates more than 10 times the national 
        average;
            (9) according to a 2017 report by the Department of 
        Justice, 66 percent of criminal prosecutions for crimes in 
        Indian country that United States Attorneys declined to 
        prosecute involved assault, murder, or sexual assault;
            (10) investigation into cases of missing or murdered 
        Indigenous women is made difficult for Tribal law enforcement 
        agencies due to a lack of resources, including a lack of--
                    (A) necessary personnel, training, equipment, or 
                funding;
                    (B) interagency cooperation;
                    (C) appropriate laws in place; and
                    (D) access to Federal law enforcement databases;
            (11) domestic violence calls are among the most dangerous 
        calls that law enforcement receives;
            (12) the complicated jurisdictional scheme that exists in 
        Indian country--
                    (A) has a significant impact on public safety in 
                Indian communities;
                    (B) according to Tribal justice officials, has been 
                increasingly exploited by criminals; and
                    (C) requires a high degree of commitment and 
                cooperation among Tribal, Federal, and State law 
                enforcement officials;
            (13) restoring and enhancing Tribal capacity to address 
        violence against women provides for greater local control, 
        safety, accountability, and transparency;
            (14) Indian Tribes with restrictive settlement Acts, such 
        as Indian Tribes in the State of Maine, and Indian Tribes 
        located in States with concurrent authority to prosecute crimes 
        in Indian country under the amendments made by the Act of 
        August 15, 1953 (67 Stat. 590, chapter 506), face unique public 
        safety challenges; and
            (15) Native Hawaiians experience a disproportionately high 
        rate of human trafficking, with 64 percent of human trafficking 
        victims in the State of Hawai'i identifying as at least part 
        Native Hawaiian.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this subtitle are--
            (1) to clarify the responsibilities of Federal, State, 
        Tribal, and local law enforcement agencies with respect to 
        responding to cases of domestic violence, dating violence, 
        stalking, sex 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 Tribal governments and Native American 
        communities, including urban Indian communities and Native 
        Hawaiian communities, with the resources and information 
        necessary to effectively respond to cases of domestic violence, 
        dating violence, stalking, sex trafficking, sexual violence, 
        and missing or murdered Native Americans; and
            (4) to increase the collection of data related to missing 
        or murdered Native Americans and the sharing of information 
        among Federal, State, Tribal, and local officials responsible 
        for responding to and investigating crimes impacting Indian 
        Tribes and Native American communities, including urban Indian 
        communities and Native Hawaiian communities, especially crimes 
        relating to cases of missing or murdered Native Americans.

            (2) most Alaska Native villages are located in remote areas 
        that--
                    (A) are often inaccessible by road; and
                    (B) have no local law enforcement presence;
            (3) the Commission referred to in paragraph (1)--
                    (A) determined that the Alaska Department of Public 
                Safety--
                            (i) has primary responsibility for law 
                        enforcement in rural Alaska; but
                            (ii) provides only 1 to 1.4 field officers 
                        per 1,000,000 acres; and
                    (B) recommended that ``devolving authority to 
                Alaska Native communities is essential for addressing 
                local crime. Their governments are best positioned to 
                effectively arrest, prosecute, and punish, and they 
                should have the authority to do so-or to work out 
                voluntary agreements with each other, and with local 
                governments and the State on mutually beneficial 
                terms''; and
            (4) the unique legal relationship of the United States to 
        Indian Tribes creates a Federal trust responsibility to assist 
        Tribal governments in safeguarding the lives of Indian women.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this subtitle are--
            (1) to increase coordination and communication among 
        Federal, State, Tribal, and local law enforcement agencies; and
            (2) to empower Indian Tribes to effectively respond to 
        cases of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, sex 
        trafficking, sexual violence, and missing or murdered Alaska 
        Natives through the exercise of special Tribal criminal 
        jurisdiction.

        parent. Intimate partner violence and child abuse overlap in 
        the same families at rates between 30 and 60 percent. A child's 
        risk of abuse increases after a perpetrator of intimate partner 
        violence separates from a domestic partner, even when the 
        perpetrator has not previously directly abused the child. 
        Children who have witnessed intimate partner violence are 
        approximately 4 times more likely to experience direct child 
        maltreatment than children who have not witnessed intimate 
        partner violence.
            (3) More than 75 percent of child sexual abuse is 
        perpetrated by a family member or a person known to the child. 
        Data of the Department of Justice shows that family members are 
        49 percent, or almost half, of the perpetrators of crimes 
        against child sex assault victims younger than 6 years of age.
            (4) Research suggests a child's exposure to a batterer is 
        among the strongest indicators of risk of incest victimization. 
        One study found that female children with fathers who are 
        batterers of their mothers were 6.5 times more likely to 
        experience father-daughter incest than female children who do 
        not have abusive fathers.
            (5) Child abuse is a major public health issue in the 
        United States. Total lifetime financial costs associated with 
        just 1 year of confirmed cases of child maltreatment, including 
        child physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, and 
        neglect, result in $124,000,000,000 in annual costs to the 
        economy of the United States, or approximately 1 percent of the 
        gross domestic product of the United States.
            (6) Empirical research indicates that courts regularly 
        discount allegations of child physical and sexual abuse when 
        those allegations are raised in child custody cases. Courts 
        believed less than \1/4\ of claims that a father has committed 
        child physical or sexual abuse. With respect to cases in which 
        an allegedly abusive parent claimed the mother ``alienated'' 
        the child, courts believed only 1 out of 51 claims of sexual 
        molestation by a father. Independent research indicates that 
        child sexual abuse allegations are credible between 50 and 70 
        percent of the time.
            (7) Empirical research shows that alleged or known abusive 
        parents are often granted custody or unprotected parenting time 
        by courts. Approximately \1/3\ of parents alleged to have 
        committed child abuse took primary custody from the protective 
        parent reporting the abuse, placing children at ongoing risk.
            (8) Researchers have documented nearly 800 child murders in 
        the United States since 2008 committed by a divorcing or 
        separating parent. More than 100 of these child murders are 
        known to have occurred after a court ordered the child to have 
        contact with the dangerous parent over the objection of a safe 
        parent or caregiver.
            (9) Scientifically unsound theories that treat abuse 
        allegations of mothers as likely false attempts to undermine 
        fathers are frequently applied in family court to minimize or 
        deny reports of abuse of parents and children. Many experts who 
        testify against abuse allegations lack expertise in the 
        relevant type of alleged abuse, relying instead on unsound and 
        unproven theories.
            (10) Judges presiding over custody cases involving 
        allegations of child abuse, child sexual abuse, and domestic 
        violence are rarely required to receive training on these 
        subjects, and most States have not established standards for 
        such training.

SEC. 1503. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this title are to--
            (1) increase the priority given to child safety in any 
        State court divorce, separation, visitation, paternity, child 
        support, civil protection order, or family custody court 
        proceeding affecting the custody and care of children, 
        excluding child protective, abuse, or neglect proceedings and 
        juvenile justice proceedings;
            (2) strengthen the abilities of courts to--
                    (A) recognize and adjudicate domestic violence and 
                child abuse allegations based on valid, admissible 
                evidence; and
                    (B) enter orders that protect and minimize the risk 
                of harm to children; and
            (3) ensure that professional personnel involved in cases 
        containing domestic violence or child abuse allegations receive 
        trauma-informed and culturally appropriate training on the 
        dynamics, signs, and impact of domestic violence and child 
        abuse, including child sexual abuse.
