Bill > SB3506

This bill amends the Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency Treatment Act to redefine "minor" as anyone under 18 years old and remove the definition of "adult." It also allows for written authorization of a medical forensic examination for an unconscious sexual assault survivor by a qualified medical provider and a second healthcare professional if certain conditions are met, and introduces new definitions related to telehealth and guardians. Additionally, the bill modifies provisions concerning hospital requirements for sexual assault plans, including training for emergency department staff and the use of TeleSANE (a telehealth system for sexual assault nurse examiners), and clarifies consent procedures for medical forensic examinations, particularly for unconscious patients. It also updates definitions and procedures within the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act and the Address Confidentiality for Victims of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Human Trafficking, or Stalking Act, and makes changes to law enforcement record access for minors under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
