Bill > A4635

This bill requires the Attorney General to establish a statewide sexual assault forensic evidence kit tracking system. The system would be an internet-based platform that allows victims, law enforcement officers, healthcare and laboratory personnel, and other authorized individuals to track a sexual assault forensic evidence kit through the chain of custody, from the time it is collected at a healthcare facility to its final disposition. The bill specifies that the Attorney General shall issue guidelines or a directive to establish the tracking system, which will take effect on the first day of the seventh month after the bill's enactment, though the Attorney General may take necessary administrative actions in advance to implement the provisions.
