This bill, the Safer Homes and Families Act, has several key provisions: 1. It criminalizes stalking using an unauthorized geotracking device, which is defined as an electronic or mechanical device that allows a person to remotely track the position and movement of another person without their consent. 2. It modifies the 10-year marriage rule for spouse's and surviving spouse's Social Security insurance benefits in cases of domestic violence, reducing the required marriage duration from 10 years to 5 years for victims of domestic violence. 3. It establishes a demonstration program to provide trauma-informed, victim-centered training for healthcare providers who interface with victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, with the goal of improving the response and treatment of these cases. 4. It prohibits the imposition of fees for early termination of a lease by victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking who need to exit their housing lease early.
