Summary

The bill requires the Department of Public Safety to create and run a database that logs every sexual assault forensic examination kit from creation to storage or analysis, regardless of whether the victim reports the crime. Law‑enforcement agencies, hospitals, crime labs and prosecutors must enter data, and all agencies must inventory their kits by June 1 2026. The goal is to improve evidence management and accountability in sexual assault cases.
