AG Raoul today highlighted a new law initiated by his office that will go into effect Jan. 1 and will improve medical care and treatment for sexual assault survivors by making important updates to the Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency Treatment Act (SASETA) and the Illinois Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Program. 
 
“Sexual assault survivors deserve care that is accessible, adheres to best practices to minimize additional trauma and contributes to justice being served in their cases. The Illinois SANE Program helps provide quality, trauma-informed, patient-centered care to individuals during what is often the worst moment of their lives. I thank the legislative sponsors for their work on this important new law, and I am committed to continuing to work to support survivors.” – AG Raoul
