Moolenaar Supports Survivors' Bill of Rights Act

September 6, 2016

Tonight, the House of Representatives passed the Survivors' Bill of Rights Act of 2016.

The legislation ensures that sexual assault survivors in federal criminal cases have the right to a sexual assault evidence kit. It also allows victims to request that their kit be preserved so charges can be brought in the future.

Congressman Moolenaar voted for the legislation and made the following statement:

"The Survivors' Bill of Rights Act is a commonsense reform that aids victims of sexual assault nationwide. This legislation will help victims see justice done and I urge the Senate to pass it."
