AI Summary

This bill requires the Attorney General to create a statewide system, accessible online, to track sexual assault forensic evidence kits. This tracking system will allow various individuals, including victims, law enforcement officers, and healthcare or laboratory employees, to follow the kit's journey from its collection at a healthcare facility through its transfer to law enforcement, submission for testing at a laboratory, and its final status. The system is intended to provide transparency and accountability regarding these important kits.
