Referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security.
This resolution is a non-binding statement by Congress that designates January 2007 as National Stalking Awareness Month and encourages awareness and prevention of stalking. It expresses the sense of Congress and urges national and community organizations, businesses, and the media to promote awareness and services for stalking victims. Because it is a concurrent resolution, it does not create law or require the President's signature.
Concurrent resolutions are adopted by both the House and the Senate but are not presented to the President and do not have the force of law. They are used to express Congress's view or to coordinate actions between the two chambers.
This concurrent resolution designates January 2007 as National Stalking Awareness Month.
It lists findings about stalking prevalence and harms, urges improved criminal justice response, and encourages national, community, private sector, and media promotion of stalking awareness.
The resolution is symbolic and does not appropriate funds or create new legal obligations.
As a concurrent resolution it does not become law; adoption by both chambers is likely but cannot create binding law.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a straightforward commemorative resolution: it clearly states the issue, designates January 2007 as National Stalking Awareness Month, and urges relevant actors to promote awareness. It does not create legal obligations, appropriate funds, or establish new procedures, and it contains minimal implementation or accountability detail—conforming to the norms of a symbolic/congratulatory legislative instrument.

Views it as a low-cost, bipartisan initiative, but wants clarity on outcomes.
Likely supportive in principle for victim protection and awareness, but cautious about federal symbolism, potential mission creep, and privacy or due-process implications of cyber-surveillance language.
