An Act amending Title 51 (Military Affairs) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for military sexual trauma awareness; and imposing duties on the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
HB 1110 requires Pennsylvania's Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to implement a public awareness campaign about military sexual trauma (defined as sexual assault or harassment during military service). The campaign must promote survivor acceptance, encourage active military members to report incidents, and provide information about available support resources. The department must design accessible materials (multilingual, mobile-friendly, and culturally appropriate) for its website, consult with advocacy groups and veterans with lived experience, and submit detailed reports within 180 days and one year of implementation. This bill directly affects active military members, veterans, and the public by improving access to trauma support and raising community awareness.
