I called Tulsi's office earlier today on this. The bill she co-sponsored is a companion measure to S.2280, drafted by Senator Dan Sullivan from Alaska, and which passed unanimously in the Senate. When he was Alaska's Attorney General, he put a program like this in place and saw how successful it was. For reference: http://www.sullivan.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/senate-passes-sullivan-heitkamp-bill-to-combat-domestic-violence

Although it's not a silver bullet, it could help many women who right now aren't getting the help they need. If critics of the bill want to improve it, then why don't they contact Tulsi and work out a better bill that Tulsi can introduce in the House. That would be much more effective than sniping at Tulsi from the sidelines through the media.
