AI Summary
This bill amends the Sexual Assault Testing and Evidence Collection Act to add a provision that failure to report injuries under the law regarding failure to report injuries by firearm or criminal act shall not constitute an offense if anonymous submission of sexual assault evidence is made. The bill also requires the Pennsylvania State Police, in consultation with the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape, to conduct a study and issue a report examining the resources required to implement a rape kit tracking system in the Commonwealth that would allow tracking of all rape kits collected for testing or analysis, be accessible to victims and authorized users, and function as an online database. The report must identify the resources, costs, potential funding sources, and benefits to victims and public safety associated with implementing such a system.
