Attorney General Gentner Drummond praised Gov. Stitt for his signing last week of Senate Bill 2039, which establishes the Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services Revolving Fund and ensures funding to domestic violence is distributed where the need is greatest.

Drummond said the measure will help combat the high number of domestic violence incidents across Oklahoma. The state averages 114 domestic homicide victims per year, which is among the highest in the nation.
