Issue Position: Child Victims Act

Issue Position

James led the effort in the State Senate to finally pass the Child Victims Act, legislation that updates the state's antiquated, harmful sexual abuse laws. For far too long, survivors were often left with no recourse to seek justice or hold their perpetrators accountable.

For decades, Albany catered to special interests and refused to pass the Child Victims Act. That changed when James Skoufis arrived in the State Senate. In his very first month, James successfully fought to pass the Child Victims Act, protecting our children and ensuring offenders of these atrocious acts are brought to justice.
