I absolutely am, and I'm informed by some of the work that was done at this committee.
Perhaps you were here when Morrell Andrews testified at this committee in October, last year. Her quote was:
Begging for my right to speak was humiliating. The court's dignifying the offender with an opportunity to argue why I should be permanently silenced was infuriating, dehumanizing and traumatizing. I told myself to remember what it felt like to be shattered by the legal system, and that one day—for myself, for others I have met and for those who would come after us—I would try to do something about it.
I think this bill is doing something about it.
Being a victim is never easy. We don't need to revictimize victims. What we're doing through this legislation, I believe, is empowering victims to take control of their own narrative. There are some guardrails surrounding that issue, and they're required when a publication ban being lifted might affect another individual, but fundamentally, this is about empowering victims and other witnesses who have already been traumatized and ensuring that we no longer traumatize them again.
