YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In this video, a House Judiciary Subcommittee holds a hearing on proposed legislation known as “Kelly’s Law,” aimed at strengthening long-term protections for survivors of sexual assault and violent crime.

The proposal would allow courts to issue lifetime no-contact injunctions against convicted offenders at sentencing, in an effort to prevent victims from being repeatedly forced into contact or legal proceedings involving their abusers after release.

During the hearing, lawmakers and advocates discussed gaps in current state and federal protections, while victims’ rights advocate Kaylee Kozak shared her personal experience and called for stronger, lasting safeguards for survivors.

Supporters say the measure would provide critical protection and peace of mind for victims, while ensuring accountability extends beyond incarceration.
