Full Title: To encourage States to provide rights to survivors of violence, and for other purposes. Sponsors: Lateefah Simon (CA).
April 21, 2026. Congresswoman Lateefah Simon (D-CA-12) and Emilia Sykes (D-OH-13) introduced the Crime Survivor Support and Stability Act. The release says the bill would strengthen the federal response to violent crime by affirming survivors' rights, funding community-based assistance, and improving how we measure survivors' needs via supplemental state-level surveys.
Assessments
Simon fulfilled the promise by introducing H.R. 8426, the Crime Survivor Support and Stability Act of 2026, during her current federal House term. The bill title and described provisions directly match the commitment to introduce and support legislation encouraging states to provide rights to survivors of violence. Because the promise was framed around introducing and supporting legislation rather than securing enactment, passage is not required for full delivery.
