FVAP Article Opposing Coercive Control Bill Published in the Daily Journal
by FVAP
We’re excited to announce “‘Coercive control’ domestic violence bill: well-intentioned, but need to be reworked” written by FVAP’s Legal Director, Nancy K.D. Lemon, and FVAP Staff Attorney, Cory Hernandez, advocating that Senate Bill 1141 not be passed was published in the Daily Journal yesterday.

Our hope is that the Bill does not become law unless it is substantially amended to address its current issues.
