Scott Applewhite/AP Updated at 7:13 p.m. ET The House approved with bipartisan support a reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, a popular 1994 law that protects and provides resources for victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence. The measure passed 244-172. As a senator, President Biden played a lead role in passing the landmark law, which he recently called one of my proudest legislative achievements. The law was last reauthorized in 2013, but it lapsed at the end of 2018 after Congress failed to act due to partisan disputes over guns and transgender issues. The lapse has had little practical effect because Congress continues to fund related programs despite the lack of authorization.
