Lori Jackson-Nicolette Elias Domestic Violence Survivor Protection Act

Key claim: HR9983, the Lori Jackson-Nicolette Elias Domestic Violence Survivor Protection Act, was introduced in the 119th Congress and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.

Abstract

(HR9983 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-30): Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Why this matters

Domestic violence survivors face acute risk when abusers retain firearms access or exploit civil-procedure gaps, and federal legislation named for victims like Lori Jackson and Nicolette Elias signals continued congressional attention to closing such gaps. Because the bill is only at referral stage, its practical effect on survivors—whether expanding firearm-surrender enforcement, civil remedies, or protective-order coverage—remains contingent on committee markup and text release.
