Criminal procedure; implied consent to a drug facilitated sexual assault examination for unconscious victims of alleged sexual assault; provide

Summary

The bill lets a licensed hospital or health practitioner perform a forensic medical exam and a drug‑facilitated toxicology screen on a victim who appears unconscious when exigent circumstances exist. Victims have a right to these exams regardless of whether they cooperate with police, and the cost is paid by the Georgia Crime Victims Emergency Fund. It also protects the examined person from being charged if the only evidence against them comes from the exam.
