Illinois Bill Obama SPONSORED would result in most women being billed for the rape kits!!!!
The Bill forbids using collection agency like tactics against any crime victim for any expense incurred for the investigation of the crime. And if the victim meets certain hardship criteria they can ask the court for emergency funds if they cannot pay for the kit themselves, BUT if the cost of the kit cannot be recovered from the perpetrator the cost goes back to the alleged victim. If the victim was a minor or disabled, and reported the crime within 72 hours and obeyed other criteria the state would pay the expense. Most women under the bill Obama sponsored would be stuck with the charges. - iusbvision
