Use of Polygraph Amendments

Summary

The bill bars police, prosecutors, courts and other government officials from asking or forcing a victim of a sexual offense to take a polygraph test, and it makes clear that a victim’s refusal cannot halt an investigation or prosecution. It adds definitions for "polygraph examination" and updates the victim‑protection statutes. The measure is intended to shield victims from coercive interrogation tactics.
