BILL NUMBER: S7185

SPONSOR: PARKER
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to require the office for the prevention of domestic violence to
conduct a study on domestic violence in the transgender community

 
PURPOSE OF BILL:

To establish a study by the office for the prevention of domestic
violence.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

The office for the prevention of domestic violence shall conduct a study
on domestic violence in the transgender community with a focus on domes-
tic violence against Black transgender women. The study shall examine,
evaluate, and make recommendations concerning the prevention of domestic
violence on the transgender community; find ways to reduce such domestic
violence and increase the reporting of domestic violence; and examine
reasons such domestic violence disproportionately affects Black trans-

gender women. Within one year after the effective date of this act, the
office for the prevention of domestic violence shall prepare and submit
to the governor, stated senate and assembly chairs, a report containing
the study's findings, including recommendations for legislation or other
actions to address domestic violence in the transgender community.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Transgender individuals and communities experience sexual violence and
assault, discrimination, domestic abuse, harassment, and hate crimes.
According to the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence, communi-
ties of color experience these events at higher rates. No one should
live in fear of harm, establishing a study to help understand how and
why these events take place will ultimately assist in providing much
needed protections and safe guards.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2021-22: S5940 - Referred to Governmental Operations

2019-20: S9099 - Referred to Rules

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

To be determined.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
