“This new law will put in place the best practices for dealing with sexual assault cases statewide and puts a system in place that will encourage survivors to come forward and receive justice when they are ready to do so.”
Good news -- and we need this to be put into Federal law by Congress.
I was amazed to find this. I have been a huge supporter of this law as I am sure many members on here are as well. YES, this must be submitted by Congress. We should all push our Federal Lawmakers to sponsor and sign on to this Bill. Pronto. I will contact mine and am sure I will only get a form letter, but at least they will know my views. And believe me, my words will be strong.
Make sure you see the comment by @exposethecriminals which is a very good suggestion and I am sure that we would all agree to. Maybe it would be a good idea to add that to our contact letters.
