An Act relating to the definition of 'victim counseling center' for disclosure of certain communications concerning sexual assault or domestic violence.

Summary

The bill revises Alaska’s definition of a victim counseling center to include private, military‑affiliated, and local or tribal agencies that primarily serve victims of sexual assault or domestic violence, are not linked to law enforcement, and are not state‑contracted under AS 47. It also makes the definition apply to all relevant communications and offenses regardless of when they occurred. This clarification determines which entities are covered by confidentiality rules.
