AI Summary
This bill establishes the right of sexual assault victims to be notified of certain developments in their criminal case. Specifically, victims have the right to be informed if a DNA profile of the assailant was obtained, if that profile was entered into a DNA database, and if there is a match between that profile and any in the database. Victims can also request to be informed of the status of the processing of evidence collected in their case. The law enforcement agency investigating the case must provide this information to the victim in a timely manner and upon request. This bill aims to improve the rights and protections afforded to victims of sexual assault within the criminal justice system.
