Main Subject: Crime and Law Enforcement

Federal Prohibition of Female Genital Mutilation Act of 2019

This bill modifies the general prohibition on female genital mutilation.

Specifically, the bill prohibits this conduct when it occurs in or affects interstate or foreign commerce. (A 2018 court ruling held the criminal offense of female genital mutilation to be unconstitutional because the statute did not include any jurisdictional elements, such as a requirement that the charged offense have a connection to or effect on interstate commerce.)
