 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 February 3, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sens. PARKER, BAILEY, COMRIE, HOYLMAN-SIGAL, PERSAUD,
 SANDERS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be
 committed to the Committee on Finance

 AN ACT to establish a temporary state commission, within the office for
 the prevention of domestic violence, to study intimate partner
 violence; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expira-
 tion thereof

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby
 2 finds that intimate partner violence against women is a major public
 3 health concern that needs to be addressed with all practical and prag-
 4 matic tools at its disposal and that those tools should be effectively
 5 and responsibly utilized by communities all across the state.
 6 According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA),
 7 1.5 million women are physically and/or sexually abused by an intimate
 8 partner each year, and 25% will experience intimate partner violence at
 9 some time during their lifetimes. Moreover, 25% of adolescents have
 10 experienced physical or sexual dating violence. In another report, the
 11 U.S. Department of Justice found out that females are approximately ten
 12 times more likely to be killed by an intimate partner than are males.
 13 Similarly, injuries that result from such violence are significantly
 14 more common among females for both adolescents and adult populations,
 15 and approximately 10% of intentional injuries to adolescent girls are
 16 reported to be the result of violent male dating. External factors such
 17 as race, age, illiteracy and ethnicity are closely related with the
 18 climbing rates of intimate partner violence. Furthermore, health risks
 19 and demographics have been found to be associated with both dating
 20 violence variables and health risk outcomes.
 21 Research suggests that the incidence of physical dating violence was
 22 associated with substance use (heavy smoking, binge drinking, driving

 1 after drinking, cocaine use), unhealthy weight control (diet pills use,
 2 laxative use), risky sexual behavior (first intercourse before the age
 3 of fifteen years, not using a condom at last intercourse, at least three
 4 sex partners in the last three months), pregnancy, and suicidality
 5 (considered, attempted suicide).
 6 A study found that many secondary effects are commonly related with
 7 the prevalence of intimate partner violence. For example, both adoles-
 8 cent girls and adult women who experienced forcible sex are more likely
 9 to exhibit eating disorders; also, violent childhood experiences cata-
 10 lyze the vulnerability to become victims of intimate partner violence.
 11 Likewise, the humiliation of those who experienced intimate partner
 12 violence may play a major role in predisposing teens to suicidal idea-
 13 tion and behavior. Moreover, based on recent data from abused adults,
 14 adolescents who experience dating violence may be less likely than
 15 others to receive treatment for mental health concerns.
 16 Adolescents experiencing dating violence are at significantly elevated
 17 risks for having greater numbers of sex partners, making them more
 18 vulnerable to contracting HIV and other sexually transmit
