Jay Rockefeller: “This is a very serious hearing and a very important hearing.”

I incorrectly stated that the League has in place a policy requiring clubs to report to law enforcement.

We need to provide more transitional housing and more training for law enforcement, counselors, and healthcare workers to make it easier for victims to come forward.

It's my understanding that only the NFL can promulgate uniform rules and policies to address domestic violence.

I thank Senator Leahy for attempting to address my concerns about this bill. I thank his committee staff for working with my committee staff to insert clarifying report language.
