Texas HB1775 mandates annual and biennial reports on evidence collection kits for sexual assault cases.

Texas HB1775 amends the Government Code to require the Department of Public Safety to submit an annual "Statewide Electronic Tracking System Report" by December 1 each year. This report must detail the number of evidence collection kits that have not been submitted for laboratory analysis or for which the analysis is incomplete, and those not taken by law enforcement within the required period. Additionally, the Local Government Code is amended to require response teams to provide a biennial report to county commissioners courts.
