The Kate Puzey Peace Corps Volunteer Protection Act was introduced in the United States House of Representatives and Senate Thursday.
The bill, named after a slain College of William and Mary alumna, advocates the increase of congressional oversight of the Peace Corps with hopes of making it safer for volunteers abroad.
Puzey, a 2006 graduate of the College, was slain while serving in the Peace Corps in Benin, West Africa in 2009.
