Federal Employee Antistalking Act of 1993 - Amends the Federal criminal code to set penalties for persons who: (1) repeatedly engage in a pattern of conduct directed at an officer or employee in the executive or legislative branch of Government (including the U.S. Postal Service) while such officer or employee is engaged in, or on account of, official duties; (2) know or should know that such conduct is likely to place that officer or employee in reasonable fear of sexual battery, bodily injury, or death; and (3) thereby induce such fear. Specifies that if a sentence of probation is imposed the court shall require the defendant to undergo appropriate psychiatric, psychological, or social counseling. Allows an aggrieved officer or employee to obtain appropriate relief in a civil action, including punitive damages (in the case of a violation) and reasonable attorney's fees.

How likely is it to become law?
Civibrief does not forecast outcomes and this page has no opinion about this one. What the record supports is a base rate, which is a fact about the whole pile, not a prediction about this measure.
In the 103rd Congress (1993-94), 465 of the 8,540 bills and joint resolutions introduced became law, about 5.4 percent. That count covers every measure at every stage, including the many that never left committee.
This one has no outstanding steps listed above.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
BARBARA-ROSE COLLINS (D-MI) introduced it on June 10, 1993, and 10 members have since signed on as cosponsors.
They come from both major parties: 9 Democrats, 1 Republican.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
How long has it been in play?
It was introduced on June 10, 1993, 12193 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 12188 days ago, on June 15, 1993.
Measures do not carry over. Anything the 103rd Congress has not finished by January 3, 1995 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
