Paris Hilton Urges House to Pass Youth Welfare Reform Before Session Ends
The Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act, unanimously passed by the Senate, awaits a decisive vote in the House this week.
- Paris Hilton is lobbying Congress to pass the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act, which aims to increase federal oversight of youth residential treatment facilities.
- The bill unanimously passed the Senate on December 11, marking a significant milestone in Hilton's advocacy efforts for survivors of institutional abuse.
- Hilton shared her personal experiences of abuse at a Utah boarding school, emphasizing the urgency of protecting vulnerable children from similar harm.
- House leaders have yet to confirm whether the bill will be brought to a vote before the legislative session concludes this week.
- If passed, the bill would proceed to President Biden's desk, where Hilton and her team are confident it will be signed into law.
