Bill Summary
Providing for access to treatment for sexual assault survivors and for duties of the Department of Health.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the Sexual Assault Emergency Services Act, aims to improve access to treatment for sexual assault survivors in Pennsylvania. It defines key terms such as "SANE program" (a program that utilizes a sexual assault nurse examiner) and "sexual assault survivor" (an individual who reports experiencing sexual assault). The bill requires the Department of Health to publish a list of hospitals that provide SANE care and to develop a feature on its website to quickly delete the user's browsing history and redirect them to the web browser's home page when accessing information or services for sexual assault or domestic violence survivors. The bill also authorizes the Department to provide grant funding to establish and support infrastructure for sexual assault nurse examiner services.
