Practical Transportation Help for Sexual Assault Survivors
2025 - Illinois Senate
Conservatives Support
Description
This bill expands sexual assault service vouchers so survivors can use taxis or rideshare services for transportation to or from hospitals, residences, or shelters, with written consent when arranged by hospitals. It offers a commonsense, targeted service response without creating a new entitlement bureaucracy. CPAC supports focused victim services that do not expand permanent government programs and supported this bill. The Senate passed this bill on 2025-05-08 by a vote of 55-0. The bill later became law.
