Plain-English Summary

The federal government would officially recognize January 2026 as "National Stalking Awareness Month" to help educate the public about stalking, its dangers, and prevention strategies. This designation would encourage organizations, law enforcement agencies, and community groups to run awareness campaigns and programs during that month to help people recognize stalking behavior and know where to get help. The bill doesn't create new laws or enforcement mechanisms, but rather uses the official designation to focus national attention on an issue that affects many people, particularly women and young adults.
