August 25, 1994, John McCain voted to oppose the 1994 Violence Against Women Act. McCain felt that to allow grants to increase police presence, to expand and improve cooperative efforts between law enforcement agencies and members of the community to address crime and disorder problems, and otherwise to enhance public safety, was a bad idea. The law allows: `(1) provides such exams to victims free of charge to the victim;
`(2) arranges for victims to obtain such exams free of charge to the victims; or
`(3) reimburses victims for the cost of such exams if--
`(A) the reimbursement covers the full cost of such exams, without any deductible requirement or limit on the amount of a reimbursement;
`(B) the reimbursing governmental entity permits victims to apply for reimbursement for not less than one year from the date of the exam;
`(C) the reimbursing governmental entity provides reimbursement not later than 90 days after written notification of the victim's expense; and
`(D) the State, Indian tribal government, unit of local government, or reimbursing governmental entity provides information at the time of the exam to all victims, including victims with limited or no English proficiency, regarding how to obtain reimbursement. After the law was passed in spite of his objections, McCain tried to prevent funding that would support the law in October 2007. What a Maverick! See the links below.
