A resolution raising awareness and encouraging the prevention of stalking by designating January 2025 as "National Stalking Awareness Month".
Summary
This non-binding resolution proposes to officially designate January 2025 as National Stalking Awareness Month. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about stalking as a crime and encourage efforts to prevent it. Since this is a non-binding resolution, it does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a symbolic congressional statement intended to draw attention to stalking prevention and support for crime victims affected by stalking.
The resolution was introduced by Senator Amy Klobuchar on January 29, 2025, and currently remains in the early stages of the legislative process. If passed, the designation would encourage government agencies, organizations, and communities to focus on stalking awareness and prevention activities during January 2025, though it would not create any new legal requirements or enforcement mechanisms.
