Int 1297-2025 *Selvena N. Brooks-Powers  Reopening the lookback window to the victims of gender-motivated violence protection law.IntroductionThis bill would reopen the lookback window to the Gender-Motivated Violence Act (GMVA), commencing on March 1, 2026 and closing on March 1, 2027, thereby extending the statute of limitations and giving survivors of gender-motivated acts of violence more time to pursue civil actions. In addition to allowing for claim revival under the existing GMVA, the bill addresses retroactivity during the lookback window, as claims may be brought against any individual or entity for acts committed before the GMVA’s substantive amendment in 2022, including before the passage of the GMVA in 2000.   Not available Not available

The bill would also require ENDGBV, in consultation with DOHMH, to develop an outreach program to survey GBV screening practices by healthcare providers and provide information to integrate trauma-informed practice to the screenings, and then to report on the practices of the healthcare providers. In addition, the bill would require ENDGBV to develop a data dashboard to share data from city and state agencies around GBV.
