Relates to sexual offense evidence collection kit procedures

Summary

The bill requires that sexual offense evidence be kept in a locked, separate area for twenty years or until the victim turns forty, whichever is later, and establishes a series of notifications to the victim about storage, transfer, and eventual disposal. It gives victims the right to receive their clothing and personal effects, to be warned before the kit is moved or destroyed, and to authorize release of the evidence to law enforcement. The measures apply to all victims, with special protections for minors, vulnerable elders, and disabled persons.
