A NEW STATE LAW WILL FURTHER PROTECT VICTIMS OF STALKING AND SEXUAL ASSAULT.

THE STATE'S ADDRESS CONFIDENTIALITY PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY ONLY AVAILABLE TO SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. BUT A LAW TAKING EFFECT JANUARY FIRST ADDS STALKING AND SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVORS AS WELL. IT LETS THEM OBTAIN AN ALTERNATE ADDRESS SO IT'S HARDER FOR THEIR ABUSER TO FIND THEM SAYS REPRESENTATIVE TERRA COSTA HOWARD OF GLEN ELLYN.

STARTING JANUARY FIRST...SURVIVORS OF STALKING AND SEXUAL ASSAULT CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S ADDRESS CONFIDENTIALITY PROGRAM. THE CHANGE WAS SPONSORED BY REPRESENTATIVE TERRA COSTA HOWARD OF GLEN ELLYN. SHE EXPLAINS HOW IT WORKS.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SURVIVORS CAN ALREADY USE THE PROGRAM. SIGN UP ONLINE AT: ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL DOT GOV.
