IL Attorney General Kwame Raoul applauded the Illinois General Assembly’s approval of legislation that will improve medical forensic services for sexual assault survivors by making important updates to the Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency Treatment Act (SASETA) and the Illinois Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (IL SANE) Program. “The Illinois SANE Program helps provide quality, trauma-informed, patient-centered care to individuals during what is often the worst moment of their lives. 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. I would like to thank the sponsors and the members of the General Assembly for passing this important legislation, and I am committed to continuing to work to support survivors.” – AG Raoul
