AI Summary
This bill, known as the Supporting Access to Nurse Exams Act (or SANE Act), aims to amend the DNA Sexual Assault Justice Act of 2004 to increase access to Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs). It provides grants to eligible entities, such as Tribal governments, hospitals, and sexual assault examination programs, to establish SANE training programs, fund full-time and part-time SANE and Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner (SAFE) positions, and enhance access to these services, particularly in rural, underserved, and areas with health professional shortages. The bill also directs the Attorney General to coordinate with the Secretary of Health and Human Services to inform health care facilities about SANE resources and to establish a public website on access to forensic nurse examiners. Finally, it authorizes $30 million in annual appropriations for fiscal years 2023 through 2027 to carry out these provisions.
