SPRINGFIELD – After experiencing a sexual assault, survivors often face the added stress of arranging a ride to a safe location once their medical exam is complete. To help ease this burden, State Senator Napoleon Harris III supported a new law that expands the state’s sexual assault services voucher program to cover transportation following treatment.

“When someone has survived trauma and taken a brave step to seek medical help, the last thing they should worry about is how they’re going to get to safety,” said Harris (D-Harvey). “This new law helps make sure that survivors have the support they need every step of the way, even after they leave the hospital.”
