Better Care For Domestic Violence Survivors Act

This bill would create a federal grant program, run by the Attorney General's Office on Violence Against Women with the Department of Health and Human Services, for certain health care facilities. Facilities that win grants would work with victim services organizations to train staff, school personnel, and emergency services workers to identify and treat people who have experienced domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Each grantee would have to work with a research partner to evaluate the program and publish preliminary results. The Government Accountability Office would report to Congress within three years, and the bill authorizes $10 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
