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.
