Dear Members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly:
Pennsylvania’s 48 rape crisis centers are serving survivors around the clock—unpaid—because the state budget remains unpassed. This is unsustainable and puts survivors at risk.
Harrisburg, Pa – On June 9, 2025, the Pennsylvania House voted in favor of HB 462 and 464. These bills would create different ways for adult survivors of child sex crimes to seek legal compensation from their offender. Both bills attempt this goal in different ways.
