Today, by a vote of 286 to 138 (update: vote link), the U.S. House of Representatives passed S. 47, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. Because the U.S. Senate, by a vote of 78 to 22, passed the same VAWA reauthorization bill on February 12, it will now be presented to the President for his signature.
A copy of S. 47, as passed by both chambers of Congress, can be found at this link.
DOJ started all this, and here is the original proposal:
