AN  ACT to establish a temporary state commission, within the office for
  the  prevention  of  domestic  violence,  to  study  intimate  partner
  violence; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expira-
  tion thereof

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Legislative findings and  intent.  The  legislature  hereby
finds  that  intimate  partner  violence against women is a major public
health concern that needs to be addressed with all practical  and  prag-
matic  tools  at its disposal and that those tools should be effectively
and responsibly utilized by communities all across the state.
  According to the Journal of the American Medical  Association  (JAMA),
1.5  million  women are physically and/or sexually abused by an intimate
partner each year, and 25% will experience intimate partner violence  at
some  time  during  their  lifetimes.  Moreover, 25% of adolescents have
experienced physical or sexual dating violence. In another  report,  the
U.S.  Department of Justice found out that females are approximately ten
times more likely to be killed by an intimate partner than are males.
  Similarly, injuries that result from such violence  are  significantly
more  common  among  females for both adolescents and adult populations,
and approximately 10% of intentional injuries to  adolescent  girls  are
reported  to be the result of violent male dating. External factors such
as race, age, illiteracy and ethnicity  are  closely  related  with  the
climbing  rates  of intimate partner violence. Furthermore, health risks
and demographics have been found  to  be  associated  with  both  dating
violence variables and health risk outcomes.
