Section 1367. ensuring the continued protection and necessary mobility for these women and their families. As Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee. I have been particulary concerned about the significant delays that have occurred between the effective dates of VAWA 1994 and VAWA 2000 laws and the issuance of implementing regulations that are needed so that immigrant victims can receive the protections Congress has created for them. Section 828 requires that regulations implementing both this Act (including materials and dissemination under section 834) and the Act reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act in 2000. ("VAWA 2000"). be issued within 180 days of this Acts enactment. In applying such regulations. in the case of petitions or applications affected by the changes made by the Acts. there shall be no requirement to submit an additional petition. application. or certification from a law enforcement agency with the date of the application for interim relief establishing the priority date of counting time towards adjustment of status.
