Bill > HB3070

This bill appropriates $400,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Justice for the Attorney General's Sexual Assault Task Force during the 2025-2027 biennium. The funding is specifically designated to support the Oregon SAE/SANE Certification Commission, with several key objectives. The term "SANE" stands for Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, which refers to specialized healthcare professionals trained to provide comprehensive care and forensic evidence collection for sexual assault survivors. The bill enables the Task Force to manage the SANE Certification Commission by conducting outreach, providing training and technical assistance, establishing professional competencies and standards, overseeing commission membership, and facilitating multidisciplinary collaboration with various entities including law enforcement agencies, hospitals, and community-based victim services organizations. This appropriation is intended to be supplemental to any existing funding and will help improve the quality and coordination of sexual assault response services in Oregon.

Budget and Finance, Justice
