Here at Jane's Place, we're delighted to hear that the Reauthorization of the Victims of Child Abuse Act is on its way to the President.
From the National Children's Alliance's Newsletter:
"It has been a great month for CACs here in Washington! On July 28th, the House again unanimously passed the Victims of Child Abuse Act Reauthorization, clearing it for the president’s signature. As you may remember, the House previously passed its version of the Victims of Child Abuse Act Reauthorization bill in May as a part of the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act. However, this larger trafficking package stalled in the Senate. So in June, our Senate CAC champions, led by Senators Coons and Blunt, decided to push Reauthorization separately in hopes of getting it to the President before the August recess. The bill, S. 1799, the Victims of Child Abuse Act Reauthorization Act of 2013, passed unanimously. It then went back to the House where it was again unanimously passed and it is now headed to the President for signature."
