  • 2018 Legislative Priorities – Final Report
    Working to end sexual violence in Maryland P.O. Box 8782 For more information contact: Silver Spring, MD 20907 Lisae C. Jordan, Esquire Phone: 301-565-2277 Fax: 301-565-3619 www.mcasa.org 2018 Legislative Priorities – Final Report The Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault (MCASA) supports legislation that promotes justice for survivors of sexual violence, accountability for offenders, and protection for the general public. The 2018 legislative session brought continued progress for survivors of sexual assault. Thank you to everyone who made calls, sent emails, testified in Annapolis, and donated to MCASA to support our public policy efforts. You make a difference for survivors. Here is MCASA’s Final Report on the 2018 session: With the support of the Legislature’s presiding officers, Speaker Mike Busch and President Mike Miller, the Rape Survivor Family Protection Act, was passed and enacted early in session. Delegate Kathleen Dumais continued to lead this effort and never gave up. Senator Brian Feldman took on leadership in the Senate after Jamie Raskin departed for Congress. Early passage of this bill helped survivors immediately and also allowed MCASA to focus time and energy on other important legislation. Our work paid off. After decades of advocacy, the Past Bad Acts bill passed and will allow jurors to hear about evidence of past acts of sexual assault when there is a consent defense or an assertion that a child fabricated an allegation. Special thanks to Scott Shellenberger, State’s Attorney for Baltimore County, who was a leader and partner in these efforts for many years. Maryland will lead the nation with a model for providing Fair Process in College Sexual Assault cases with the passage of SB607/HB913.
