Rep. Allor Testifies in Support of Bill

 

State Representative Sue Allor recently testified in the House Michigan Families, Children, and Seniors Committee.

Her testimony was in support of her bill that expands state payment to health care providers for sexual assault exams. Allor discussed how the cost of providing these services to victims of sexual assaults has increased, causing many health care providers to become financially constrained due to the costs.

To ensure that these services are continued, Allor believes that the state must provide additional funding to health care providers, partners, or subcontractors.

According to Allor, costs shouldn’t keep victims from getting the care that they need.

The bill remains under consideration by the Families, Children, and Seniors Committee.
