Summary

The bill would require the Department of Public Safety to build and run a tracking database for every sexual assault forensic examination kit, even if the victim never reports the crime. It also sets how kits are stored, when they must be sent to the state crime lab, and obliges law‑enforcement agencies to inventory their kits by June 2026. The aim is to improve evidence handling, give victims anonymous updates, and protect the integrity of the kits.
