Bill Summary
Imposes time constraints on submission and analysis of rape kits.
AI Summary
This bill imposes time constraints on the submission and analysis of rape kits (also referred to as "sexual assault evidence"). It requires law enforcement agencies to submit such evidence to the Central Laboratory or an approved laboratory within 10 business days of receipt. The evidence must then be analyzed within six months if sufficient staffing and resources are available. The bill also requires law enforcement agencies to provide the Superintendent of State Police with information on any unsubmitted cases, and the Superintendent must develop a plan to analyze those cases. Additionally, the bill establishes civil penalties for law enforcement officers or employees who knowingly violate the submission requirements, unless the failure to comply occurred despite reasonable efforts to meet the deadline.
