Anna’s Law of 2025

This legislation, titled "Anna's Law of 2025," amends the Public Health Service Act to establish a grant program for expanding trauma-informed training. These grants will be awarded to eligible entities, such as State, Tribal, or local law enforcement agencies and emergency medical services, to provide specialized training for law enforcement personnel and emergency medical technicians . The training is designed to increase understanding of the impact of trauma in cases of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, and to develop strategies for trauma-informed responses. It must be evidence-based, victim-centered, and cover topics like identifying trauma's impact on behavior, preventing retraumatization, and communicating effectively with survivors. The bill mandates at least eight hours of training for new recruits and four hours annually for existing personnel, while also requiring the Secretary to maintain an online listing of diverse trainers and report annually to Congress on the program's effectiveness and survivor feedback.
