Increased Domestic Violence Grants for States Training Barbers and Cosmetologists.
This bill increases federal grants for states that mandate free domestic violence prevention training for individuals seeking barber or cosmetologist licenses. The goal is to empower these professionals, who often interact closely with clients, to recognize signs of abuse and refer victims to necessary resources. This change aims to enhance public safety and expand the network of support available to survivors.
Key points
States requiring mandatory, free domestic violence training for barbers and cosmetologists will receive up to a 10% increase in federal anti-crime grants.
The training focuses on recognizing signs of domestic violence, responding appropriately, and referring clients to victim support resources.
The program authorizes $5 million annually from 2024 through 2030 to boost funding for domestic violence prevention efforts.
