Provenzano appointed to Oklahoma’s Sexual Assault Forensic Evidence Board
OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Melissa Provenzano, D-Tulsa, was appointed by House Speaker Kyle Hilbert to serve as the Oklahoma House Democratic representative on the Sexual Assault Forensic Evidence (SAFE) Board. “I am thankful and honored to be appointed to the SAFE Board by Speaker Hilbert,” said Provenzano. “Victims of sexual violence deserve swift, tangible support when it comes to access to appropriate treatment and testing, and a solid foundation for moving forward. No one should go through these things alone. I look forward to being a part of a board that is working to make that happen.” SAFE Board is tasked with evaluating and improving systems involved with sexual assault forensic evidence processing, including medical and law enforcement entities. The SAFE Board is made up of 17 members: two members of the Oklahoma Senate, two members of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, the Attorney General, law enforcement leaders, medical professionals, victim advocates, and a sexual assault survivor. -END-
