New bipartisan bill aims to accelerate and improve handling of sex-abuse cases in U.S. sports.

Four members of Congress have introduced the Safer Sports for Athletes Act, a bipartisan bill aimed at improving the U.S. Center for SafeSport's handling of sex-abuse cases in Olympic and grassroots sports. The bill proposes a 180-day limit for resolving cases and assigns case managers to improve communication with survivors. It also quadruples the center's grant to $10 million annually, but restricts funds to training and education rather than investigations. Critics are skeptical about the effectiveness of these changes.
