Relates to the rights of sexual assault survivors during the investigative process

Summary

The measure updates New York’s executive law to require police, prosecutors and related agencies to interview sexual assault survivors in private rooms, allow survivors to choose the interviewer's gender, and provide crisis‑center information and workplace‑statement options. It also establishes a task force to study survivors’ rights and available services. The changes aim to make the investigative process less traumatic and improve victim assistance.
