GOVERNOR J-B PRITZKER IS SIGNING TWO BILLS TO FURTHER PROTECT SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.
ONE NEW LAW CLARIFIES THAT A PERSON WHO KNOWINGLY GETS DRUNK OR HIGH CANNOT GIVE CONSENT SAYS THE GOVERNOR.
ONE OF THE NEW LAWS WAS PROMPTED BY A YOUNG SUBURBAN WOMAN, KAYLYN ANH. SHE WAS RAPED LAST YEAR AFTER DRINKING.
THE LAW CLARIFIES THAT A PERSON WHO KNOWINGLY GETS DRUNK OR HIGH CANNOT GIVE CONSENT. ANOTHER IMPROVES THE CARE AVAILABLE TO SURVIVORS. A SECOND NEW LAW EXPANDS WHERE SURVIVORS CAN ACCESS TREATMENT AND FOR HOW LONG.
