The Survivors’ Bill of Rights is poised to receive unanimous support in the House in the coming days, just as it did in the Senate in June. It’s an uncontroversial bipartisan bill to straighten out one troublesome kink in the difficult process of treating sexual assault victims.

The bill ordains a list of protections that care providers and law enforcement must explain to rape survivors as early as possible in treating and processing their cases. One principal purpose is to ensure the preservation of physical evidence for at least as long as statutes of limitation allow a victim to file a criminal claim. Despite holding clinics and cops to a new uniform standard rule, the Survivors’ Bill of Rights will do nothing to clear up discrepancies among definitions of sexual assault.
