Today in the Illinois House, a measure was passed to prohibit co-pays for sexual assault exams. The bipartisan legislation was introduced by Illinois House Republican Leader Tony McCombie, who described the bill as a commonsense measure to protect victims of sexual assault.
“This bill gives victims an added protection of knowing they will not be overburdened when they receive care,” stated Leader McCombie. “It is important we close harmful loopholes when we find them in statute.”
The legislation, known as HB2805, received support from lawmakers across party lines, including Illinois House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch (D-Hillside). The bill was unanimously approved when it was put to a vote on April 8th, 2025.
The next step for HB2805 is to proceed to the Senate for further consideration.
