Spending: about $611,000 (But it's complicated. Here's why.)
It can be tricky to figure out how much an organization spent on a particular lobbying engagement. The law only requires lobbyists to report the amount they were paid for federal lobbying each quarter rounded to the nearest $10,000—and if it's less than $3,000 in a given quarter (or less than $13,000 for organizations with in-house lobbyists), they don't have to disclose it at all. Plus, some organizations include spending that doesn’t belong in the report—for instance, money spent lobbying state governments or other legal work.
Agencies lobbied since 2014: U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, White House Office, Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms & Explosives, Office on Violence Against Women, Housing & Urban Development - Dept of (HUD), U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS), Justice - Dept of (DOJ)
Lobbyists
Lobbyists named here were listed on a filing related to this lobbying engagement. They may not be working on it now. Occasionally, a single lobbyist whose name is spelled two different ways on filings may be represented twice here.
Disclosures Filed
Once a lobbying engagement begins, the lobbyist or firm is required to file updates four times a year. Those updates sometimes change which lobbyists are involved or add new issues being discussed. When lobbyists stop working for a client, the firm is also supposed to file a report disclosing the end of the relationship.

Participated in development of S.3623, the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022. Our goal was to negotiate a bipartisan bill as close to H.R.1620 as possible. H.R.1620 included: a dating violence prohibitor; a stalking prohibitor; and ex parte protective order prohibitor; a provision to cross-deputize state and local prosecutors and law enforcement as Special Assistant US Attorneys and ATF agents respectively to respond to domestic violence incidents; a provision to establish domestic violence points of contact in every ATF Field Office and US Attorney District Office; and provisions to require NICS to contact state and local law enforcement and prosecutors when someone fails a background check due to a domestic violence conviction, a domestic violence protective order, or a stalking conviction. S.3623 ultimately included the cross-deputization provisions, the points of contact, and the NICS Denial Notification Act. It was added to the omnibus, and also included a technical fix to 18 USC 921(a)(33) in response to an outlying court decision.

H.R.1585/S.2843, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2019, contains a tribal title, which expands special tribal jurisdiction to include sexual assault, child abuse that co-occurs with domestic violence, and assaults on tribal law enforcement officers. It also aims to increase tribal access to federal criminal databases and to research the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. S.2920, another VAWA reauthorization bill, undermines the integrity of Tribal courts, and we oppose it. H.R.1585 passed the House of Representatives. We are also promoting supplemental funding for tribal governments during the COVID-19 emergency to provide domestic violence and sexual assault services.

H.R.1585/S.2843, the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization of 2019, reauthorizes grant programs that fund law enforcement, including the STOP and Improving the Criminal Justice Response grants, and adds new purpose areas. These include the use of grant funds to develop policies and protocols to recover, store, and return firearms in domestic violence cases in accordance with court orders and to provide alternatives to the traditional justice system when doing so desired by the victim and when such alternatives do not compromise victim or community safety. It also establishes new crimes (dating violence and stalking firearms prohibitors) and discourages compelling victim testimony in domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking cases. It also addresses reforming the prison system to be more responsive to the needs of women. H.R.1585 passed the House of Representatives. We also support S.2843, which is the companion to H.R.1585. We are on hiatus from working with the Senate on a bipartisan compromise bill.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are also seeking supplemental appropriations for STOP grants to distributed exclusively to victim service providers and other Violence Against Women Act grants to improve survivors' access to safety and justice. Moreover, we are seeking provisions in the next supplemental appropriations bill to increase deposits into the Crime Victims Fund and waive grant matching requirements. We are also preparing to push it through other mechanisms, including in appropriations bills. We are expanding the bill to also increase the percentage of state victim compensation funds that the federal government matches from 60% to 75%, plus an extra 7.5% that would result from a change in the way OVC addresses state restitution.

H.R.1585/S.2843 includes a number of provisions to improve housing access for victims and survivors of domestic violence. It clarifies what a covered housing provider is, prohibits covered housing providers from evicting survivors based on the criminal activities of abusive partners, and, in case of a 'family breakup,' requires covered housing providers to allow survivors to establish their eligibility for housing assistance or give them 180 days to establish eligibility or find new housing. It requires HUD to establish an emergency transfer process that prioritizes emergency transfers over non-emergency transfers and waiting lists and to establish a Violence Against Women Director within HUD. It prohibits jurisdictions receiving VAWA grants from penalizing survivors who call law enforcement, and developing memoranda of understanding re: emergency transfers between covered housing providers participating in local continua of care. It also reauthorizes transitional housing grants. H.R.1585 passed the House of Representatives, and S.2843 is its companion bill.

H.R.1585, the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization of 2019, reauthorizes grant programs that fund law enforcement, including the STOP and Improving the Criminal Justice Response grants, and adds new purpose areas. These include the use of grant funds to develop policies and protocols to recover, store, and return firearms in domestic violence cases in accordance with court orders and to provide alternatives to the traditional justice system when doing so desired by the victim and when such alternatives do not compromise victim or community safety. It also establishes new crimes (dating violence and stalking firearms prohibitors) and discourages compelling victim testimony in domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking cases. It also addresses reforming the prison system to be more responsive to the needs of women. H.R.1585 passed the House of Representatives, and we are now working with the Senate to craft a companion.

H.R.1585 includes a number of provisions to improve housing access for victims and survivors of domestic violence. It clarifies what a covered housing provider is, prohibits covered housing providers from evicting survivors based on the criminal activities of abusive partners, and, in case of a 'family breakup,' requires covered housing providers to allow survivors to establish their eligibility for housing assistance or give them 180 days to establish eligibility or find new housing. It requires HUD to establish an emergency transfer process that prioritizes emergency transfers over non-emergency transfers and waiting lists and to establish a Violence Against Women Director within HUD. It prohibits jurisdictions receiving VAWA grants from penalizing survivors who call law enforcement, and developing memoranda of understanding re: emergency transfers between covered housing providers participating in local continua of care. It also reauthorizes transitional housing grants. H.R.1585 passed the House of Representatives, and we are currently working with the Senate to craft a companion bill.
