AI Summary
This bill transfers the responsibility for establishing fees for sexual assault examinations from the Department of Health and Environment to the Crime Victims Compensation Board, which is an organization that provides financial assistance to victims of crime. The bill also authorizes the Crime Victims Compensation Board to create rules and regulations to manage these fees and permits the board to use funds from the Crime Victims Compensation Fund, a pool of money dedicated to victim compensation, to pay for these examination fees. This change aims to streamline the process and ensure that victims of sexual assault are not burdened with the costs of evidence collection examinations, regardless of whether they report the crime or are otherwise eligible for compensation.
