Thanks to the many legislators, advocates, allied organizations, and TAASA members who helped to pass key legislation this year, the 84th Legislative Session was a resounding success for survivors of sexual assault and rape crisis programs. We are ecstatic to report that following nearly eight years of litigation, the state budget for the 2016-2017 biennium finally includes appropriations of revenue from the Sexually Oriented Business Fee, totaling $26.1 million for sexual assault programs and an additional $10 million to establish dedicated statewide civil legal aid for survivors of rape and sexual abuse.
