This legislation, known as the SALONS Stories Act, aims to amend the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 by providing financial incentives to states that implement specific domestic violence prevention measures. It authorizes the Attorney General to increase existing grants for states that meet certain criteria related to training for beauty professionals. An eligible State must have a law requiring individuals seeking licensure as cosmetologists or barbers to undergo qualifying training. This training, provided by a victim service provider at no cost, must teach how to recognize the signs of domestic violence , respond to them, and refer clients to appropriate resources. It may also include components on sexual assault, stalking, and dating violence. States that implement such a law can receive an increase of up to 10 percent of their average grant funding from the three most recent awards. This grant increase is for a term of one year, renewable for a maximum of three years. The bill authorizes an appropriation of $5,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2027 through 2033 to fund these grant increases.
