Enhances protections for sexual violence survivors by restricting DNA use and ensuring timely evidence handling.
The bill aims to strengthen protections for sexual violence survivors by prohibiting law enforcement from using DNA samples or profiles for purposes unrelated to the incident under investigation. It mandates that new sexual assault evidence kits be submitted to the crime laboratory within 7 business days. Survivors who have not filed a report with law enforcement can choose to have their kit tested or stored safely by law enforcement, preserving evidence for the duration of the statute of limitations.
