Introduced·3/11/25

North Carolina H367 mandates updates on the status of sexual assault examination kits for victims.

North Carolina H367 requires victims of sexual assault to be informed about the status of their examination kits, including when testing is unable to proceed, when testing is not performed for reasons other than inability, and when the kit is destroyed. The State Crime Laboratory must establish procedures for victims to exercise their right to this information and to provide necessary contact details for notifications. This act applies to kits submitted before, on, or after its effective date of October 1, 2025.
