housing agency or owner or manager of housing assisted under

housing under another covered housing program.
``(C) Rules of construction.--Nothing in subparagraph (A)

including civil protection orders issued to protect a victim
of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or
stalking; or

members of a household in a case;

``(ii) to limit any otherwise available authority of a
public housing agency or owner or manager of housing assisted
under a covered housing program to evict or terminate
assistance to a tenant for any violation of a lease not
premised on the act of violence in question against the
tenant or an affiliated person of the tenant, if the public
housing agency or owner or manager does not subject an
individual who is or has been a victim of domestic violence,
dating violence, or stalking to a more demanding standard
than other tenants in determining whether to evict or
terminate;
``(iii) to limit the authority to terminate assistance to a
tenant or evict a tenant from housing assisted under a
covered housing program if a public housing agency or owner
or manager of the housing can demonstrate that an actual and
imminent threat to other tenants or individuals employed at
or providing service to the property would be present if the
assistance is not terminated or the tenant is not evicted; or
``(iv) to supersede any provision of any Federal, State, or
local law that provides greater protection than this section
for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, or stalking.
``(c) Documentation.--
``(1) Request for documentation.--If an applicant for, or
tenant of, housing assisted under a covered housing program
represents to a public housing agency or owner or manager of

manager may request, in writing, that the applicant or tenant
submit to the public housing agency or owner or manager a
form of documentation described in paragraph (3).

provide the documentation requested under paragraph (1)
within 14 business days after the tenant receives a request

covered program;
``(ii) deny assistance under the covered program to the
applicant or tenant;

agency that--
``(i) states that an applicant or tenant is a victim of
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or
stalking;
``(ii) states that the incident of domestic violence,
dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking that is the
ground for protection under subsection (b) meets the
requirements under subsection (b); and

local law enforcement agency, court, or administrative
agency; or
``(D) at the discretion of a public housing agency or owner
or manager of housing assisted under a covered housing
program, a statement or other evidence provided by an
applicant or tenant.

public housing agency or owner or manager under this
subsection, including the fact that an individual is a victim
of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or
stalking shall be maintained in confidence by the public
housing agency or owner or manager and may not be entered
into any shared database or disclosed to any other entity or
individual, except to the extent that the disclosure is--

writing;
``(B) required for use in an eviction proceeding under
subsection (b); or
``(C) otherwise required by applicable law.

agency or owner or manager of housing assisted under a
covered housing program to request that an individual submit
documentation of the status of the individual as a victim of
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or
stalking.
``(6) Compliance not sufficient to constitute evidence of
unreasonable act.--Compliance with subsection (b) by a public
housing agency or owner or manager of housing assisted under
a covered housing program based on documentation received
under this subsection, shall not be sufficient to constitute
evidence of an unreasonable act or omission by the public
housing agency or owner or manager or an employee or agent of
the public housing agency or owner or manager. Nothing in
this paragraph shall be construed to limit the liability of a
public housing agency or owner or manager of housing assisted
under a covered housing program for failure to comply with
subsection (b).
``(7) Response to conflicting certification.--If a public
housing agency or owner or manager of housing assisted under
a covered housing program receives documentation under this
subsection that contains conflicting information, the public
housing agency or owner or manager may require an applicant
or tenant to submit third-party documentation, as described
in subparagraph (B), (C), or (D) of paragraph (3).

issued by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in
accordance with Executive Order 13166 (42 U.S.C. 2000d 1
note; relating to access to services for persons with limited

``(e) Emergency Transfers.--Each appropriate agency shall
adopt a model emergency transfer plan for use by public
housing agencies and owners or managers of housing assisted
under covered housing programs that--
``(1) allows tenants who are victims of domestic violence,
dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking to transfer to
another available and safe dwelling unit assisted under a
covered housing program if--
``(A) the tenant expressly requests the transfer; and
``(B)(i) the tenant reasonably believes that the tenant is
threatened with imminent harm from further violence if the
tenant remains within the same dwelling unit assisted under a
covered housing program; or
