(The Center Square) – A Colorado bill to prevent sexual abuse in jails is one step closer to passage. House Bill 1123 was approved Tuesday by the House on a voice vote for its second reading. To pass in the House, the bill must be approved again on its third and final reading. Rep. Katie Stewart, D-District 59, is a primary sponsor of HB 1123. Speaking to lawmakers on the floor Tuesday, Stewart said the bill is very personal. “It comes from my district, where a jail commander abused his privilege of power,” said Stewart, who represents Archuleta, La Plata, Montezuma and San Juan counties. “We've identified 117 victims of this abuse, and so, moving forward, we'd like to offer safeguards to protect folks in jail awaiting trial to make sure that they aren't violated in the same way that these 117 women were.”Stewart did not go into detail on where the alleged abuse occurred. However, various news outlets in Colorado identify the location as La Plata County Jail in Durango. In July 2025, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation charged a former jail commander, Edward Aber, with 117 counts of invasion of privacy for sexual gratification and one count of first-degree official misconduct.“The investigation into Aber, who was promoted to Jail Commander in 2018 and granted administrative access to evidence in 2019, focused on his alleged inappropriate viewing of sensitive video footage,” CBI said in a press release. “Aber was placed on administrative leave in July 2024 following allegations of unlawful sexual contact with female inmates and the sexual harassment of numerous female employees.”“Aber resigned in July of 2024 during the sexual harassment investigation," CBI said.According to CBI, investigators believe 117 different female inmates' strip search videos were “allegedly accessed and viewed by Aber, multiple times,” between 2019 and 2024.“The charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt,” said CBI.In her remarks to lawmakers on Tuesday, Stewart said she has been engaging in conversations with law enforcement, victim advocacy groups, and judiciary members about her bill.“I really hope you can support this bill, and we can do better for our neighbors,” said Stewart.Rep. Javier Mabrey, D-District 1, is a co-sponsor of the bill. He said the measure is about preventing sexual abuse in Colorado jails to protect the dignity and bodily autonomy of people who are in custody.“People who are in custody, people who have no ability to leave, no ability to protect their privacy, were recorded in one of the most vulnerable moments imaginable, and those recordings were allegedly used not for security or for evidence, but for sexual exploitation,” Mabrey said, speaking to lawmakers on the House floor. “Strip searches are one of the most intrusive powers that the government has. They involve forcing a person to expose themselves for inspection, and that power must come with the highest possible safeguards.”HB 1123 requires that a strip search happens only after two peace officers agree there's a "reasonable belief" that it's necessary. It also requires the reason and results to be documented. HB 1123 also limits access to video recordings that depict prisoner nudity. And local detention facilities would be required to have a policy on responding to and reporting abuse. HB 1123 also creates “whistleblower protection policies for jail staff.”

(The Center Square) – During a visit to Penn Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania alongside National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya on Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., touted the impact the agency has had on the Keystone State and called for increased funding. “It's a huge benefit to Pennsylvania and benefit to the country that Pennsylvania is a big recipient of NIH funding,” McCormick said on Tuesday. Pennsylvania is the fourth largest recipient of NIH funding in the nation, according to McCormick’s office, with the state receiving $2.27 billion in federal research funding in FY2025. The investments from NIH support more than 21,000 research jobs and generates $5.31 billion in economic activity. Despite this impact, Roll Call reported on March 27 that President Donald Trump is expected to ask Congress to cut NIH spending by 20% in his fiscal 2027 budget request. McCormick, when responding to a question from the Center Square about that report, said he wasn’t going to get into hypotheticals, but assured his support for NIH funding. “I will be a strong advocate of maintaining and increasing NIH funding and reforming NIH, as the director has laid out, in a way that makes sure that those dollars have the highest impact for the country and for Pennsylvania,” McCormick said. NIH, according to Roll Call, received $48.7 billion in fiscal 2026, which was a $415 million increase over the previously enacted level, although the Trump administration last year proposed $29.3 billion for fiscal 2026. McCormick said that for every dollar invested in NIH research, $2.56 flows back into Pennsylvania. His office also said that NIH-driven innovation has helped launch thousands of businesses and nearly 100,000 biopharmaceutical jobs across the state. “It's a real driver of innovation, but even more important, it's saving lives in an incredible way, because we have these remarkable institutions,” McCormick said. Tuesday was not the first time McCormick has called for increased NIH funding, seemingly putting him at odds with the Trump administration on the issue. During a telephone town hall in June, McCormick said he expressed concern to Department of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and others about potential NIH cuts for grants from the Department of Government Efficiency. “I think that the likelihood of NIH funding declining is not high,” McCormick said on Tuesday. “And I think that there are many people in Congress that will continue to support keeping NIH funding where it is or even growing.” Bhattacharya acknowledged on Tuesday that fewer grants were awarded during the first year of the Trump administration, but said those that were were “funded at higher levels.” The University of Pennsylvania, according to McCormick’s office, is consistently among the top recipients of NIH funding nationwide, receiving $723 million in support in FY2025, ranking fifth nationally. Penn’s NIH-funded research spans critical areas including cancer, neuroscience, cardiovascular disease, aging, population health, and health services research, as well as leading work in genomics, gene and cell therapy, and bioengineering. Tuesday was the second part of a two-day visit for Bhattacharya with McCormick in Pennsylvania to meet researchers, clinicians, university leaders, and innovators to “highlight how NIH-supported research is driving medical progress and strengthening Pennsylvania’s life sciences ecosystem.” Their visit on Tuesday included a tour of a CAR-T cell therapy laboratory, where they met with Dr. Carl June and discussed the groundbreaking work in this personalized cell therapy - in which patients' own immune cells are engineered to fight their cancers - pioneered at Penn, according to McCormick’s office. They also participated in a roundtable discussion to conclude their day with regional partners focused on the future of biomedical innovation, including how federal research partnerships can continue to accelerate discovery, support biotechnology commercialization, and expand access to life-saving treatments. “The point I want to make with this visit and with the director being here is that this is an area that’s changing dramatically, the pace of change is enormous, it’s going to change the future of America and the future of humanity,” McCormick said. “And Pennsylvania is uniquely positioned to play this enormous leadership role.”
