 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service
Stamp Out Domestic Violence Act of 2000 - Amends Federal law to require the Postal Service to establish a special rate of postage for first class mail that is up to 25 percent higher than the regular rate as a voluntary alternative that the public may use to contribute to funding for domestic violence programs.

Requires collected amounts to be paid to the Department of Justice.

Expresses the sense of the Congress that nothing in this Act should: (1) cause a net decrease in total funds received by the Department or any other Federal agency below the level that would have otherwise been received but for this Act's enactment; or (2) affect first-class or other regular postage rates.

Requires special postage stamps to be made available to the public.

Directs the Comptroller General to report to Congress on the operation of this Act.
