Expands domestic violence protections and bans firearms for misdemeanor stalkers.
This bill would expand who is considered an "intimate partner" in federal law to include current and former dating partners. It would also make it illegal for people convicted of misdemeanor stalking to own or buy firearms. These changes aim to offer more protection to victims of domestic violence and stalking.
Today, federal law does not explicitly include current or former dating partners in the definition of "intimate partner," nor does it specifically prohibit firearm possession for those convicted of misdemeanor stalking. If this bill becomes law, federal protections related to domestic violence would extend to dating relationships, and individuals convicted of misdemeanor stalking would be banned from owning firearms.
