ESTABLISHING A REPORTING DEADLINE FOR INFORMATION ON UNTESTED AND UNSUBMITTED SEXUAL ASSAULT COLLECTION KITS AND ESTABLISHING A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF RESPONSE TO ALL REPORTS OF SEXUAL ASSAULTS RELATED THERETO.

This Joint Resolution requires every law enforcement agency, law department, hospital, testing facility, and prosecutorial agency to report to the Attorney General’s Office the number of unexamined sexual assault kits and their date of collection. The Criminal Justice Council will then prepare an aggregated report by January 11, 2016. The Resolution then requires the Criminal Justice Council to develop strategies which will improve the response from the medical and criminal justice communities to reports of sexual assault in the State.
