On May 4, 2023 TLPI staff Kelly Stoner and Jerry Gardner presented a workshop - "Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022 Legislative Update and Overview." Kelly and Jerry provided an overview of the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022 (VAWA 2022) and provided a detailed examination of the changes/additions made to the tribal provisions of VAWA 2013. This includes jurisdiction over “covered crimes” including assault of Tribal justice personnel; child violence; dating violence; domestic violence; obstruction of justice; sexual violence; sex trafficking; stalking; and a violation of a protection order. The ability of tribes utilizing the Bureau of Prisons will be discussed. In addition, the Alaska Pilot Program for Special Tribal Criminal Jurisdiction will be examined. The session will explore the issues tribes need to address if they are interested in exercising the Special Tribal Criminal Jurisdiction provisions under VAWA 2022. The session will also discuss the assistance, guidance and benefits of the Intertribal Technical Assistance Working Group (ITWG) on VAWA and the tribal provisions.
