Bill > HB1495

This bill prohibits the sale of over-the-counter rape test kits in the state of New Hampshire. An "over-the-counter rape test kit" is defined as a sexual assault forensic exam kit that allows an individual to independently collect evidence of a sexual assault outside of a hospital or other designated healthcare setting. The bill establishes that any person who sells such a kit in violation of this law will be guilty of a violation and subject to a fine of up to $1,000 for each offense. The bill also clarifies that it does not affect any existing right of action under the state's consumer protection law.
