A bill aimed at preventing abuse in youth residential programs, backed by Paris Hilton, is now on its way to President Biden's desk for approval.

The bill supported by Paris Hilton, a celebrity and entrepreneur, is now on its way to President Biden's desk after being passed by the House on Wednesday, one week after it was approved unanimously by the Senate.

The "Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act" mandates increased supervision for youth residential treatment centers, a measure that Hilton has long advocated for after appearing before lawmakers to disclose her own experience of sexual abuse at a Utah boarding school at the age of 17.

The bill was backed by 23 lawmakers, including Senators John Cornyn, Tommy Tuberville, Chris Murphy, and Jeff Merkley, as well as Representative Ro Khanna.

The Secretary of Health and Human Services must enter into a contract with the National Academics of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine within 45 days of the bill's enactment to conduct a study on the state of youth in youth residential programs and make recommendations.

On Wednesday, Hilton commemorated the passing of the bill in a social media post, declaring it a day she would never forget.

The current moment demonstrates the significance of our voices, the power of speaking out to bring about change, and the importance of ensuring that no child experiences the trauma of abuse in isolation. The author wrote this message on X, motivated by the desire to provide comfort and hope for the younger version of themselves and the youth who were unjustly taken away by the Troubled Teen Industry.

She expressed gratitude to the "countless survivors who shared their stories," the "families who stood with us," and the legislators "who chose courage over complacency."

She vowed to never cease her struggle for the children ensnared in these systems, asserting that transformation is attainable.

The National Academies must submit a report every three years, followed by one every two years for a ten-year period, detailing various aspects of child abuse, neglect, and deaths in the programs.

The reports should mention who is funding the youth residential programs at the state and federal levels.

Rewritten sentence: To better train those working in fields that may come into contact with institutionalized youth and implement "positive behavioral interventions," recommendations should be made.

Hilton has also influenced similar legislation protecting institutionalized minors in eight states.
