AI Summary

This bill, titled the Abby Honold Act, authorizes the Office on Violence Against Women to improve the handling of crimes of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking by incorporating a trauma-informed approach into the initial response and investigation of such crimes. The bill provides grants to eligible entities, such as law enforcement agencies and victim services organizations, to train covered individuals (e.g., law enforcement officers, school administrators, emergency services personnel) on evidence-based, trauma-informed techniques to prevent re-traumatization of victims, improve communication between victims and law enforcement, and increase collaboration among stakeholders. The bill also requires the Attorney General to identify existing trauma-informed trainings for law enforcement and consult with stakeholders, and requires grant recipients to conduct evaluations of the effectiveness of the training process and content.
