This act, inspired by the tragic death of Army Specialist Vanessa Guillen, introduces major reforms such as independent investigations of sexual assault cases and the establishment of a Chief Prosecutor's office for each military branch. The act seeks to reduce retaliation fears and encourage reporting. Vanessa's family continues to advocate for further legislative changes to allow military personnel and their families to file claims against the government for sexual assault.
