Criminal Procedure - Victims of Sexually Assaultive Behavior - Request for Verbal Acknowledgement (Verbal Waiver Transparency Act)

Summary

The bill bars law‑enforcement agencies from presenting forms or requesting verbal acknowledgments that would relieve the agency of duties, restrict the scope of an investigation, limit prosecution, or curtail a victim’s private legal actions. It applies to anyone suspected of or claiming to have experienced sexually assaultive behavior and lets victims sue for injunctive or declaratory relief if the rule is broken. The measure also requires agencies to adopt a compliance policy and share it with a state committee.
