Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
This resolution is a nonbinding House measure that names January 2025 as National Stalking Awareness Month. It expresses the House's support for raising awareness, encouraging prevention, and applauding organizations that help stalking victims. It does not create new law, spend money, or require action by other branches or agencies. It simply states the House's position and intent to promote outreach and education.
As a simple House resolution, it only needs passage by the House and is not sent to the Senate or the President. It is not legally binding and does not change federal law or funding.
This House resolution designates January 2025 as "National Stalking Awareness Month." It cites statistics on stalking prevalence, emphasizes technology-facilitated stalking, and applauds providers, law enforcement, campuses, and community organizations.
The resolution encourages policymakers, victim services, institutions of higher education, and media to raise awareness and improve responses to stalking but contains no new funding or legal mandates.
This is a symbolic House resolution that does not create binding law; such measures rarely, if ever, become statute.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a straightforward commemorative resolution: it defines the problem in detail, designates National Stalking Awareness Month (January 2025), and urges stakeholders to act, without creating legal obligations or funding authorities.
