Preventing Domestic Violence Homicides Through Lethality Assessment Training and Technical Assistance Act

This bill would allow the U.S. Attorney General to give grants to one or more nonprofit or tribal organizations to set up a national training and technical assistance center. The center would promote and support the use of lethality assessment programs by states, local governments, and Indian Tribes. These programs help first responders identify domestic violence victims at high risk of being seriously hurt or killed by an intimate partner and connect victims to local service providers. To qualify, an applicant must show national experience with such programs. The bill authorizes $5 million per year starting in fiscal year 2026.
