This bill creates a sexual assault victim bill of rights. In addition to the rights extended to crime victims under Wisconsin's basic bill of rights for victims and witnesses, this bill adds the following rights for victims of sexual assault, regardless of whether or not they choose to cooperate with a law enforcement agency: the right to be provided with accurate written information about his or her rights as a sexual assault victim; the right to choose whether or not to undergo a sexual assault forensic examination; the right to bathe immediately following a sexual assault forensic examination; the right to choose whether or not to cooperate with a law enforcement agency; the right to have any examination evidence stored for 50 years or until the end of the prison term of the person convicted of the assault against him or her; and the right to be notified in writing 60 days prior to the destruction of any evidence obtained in a sexual assault forensic examination.
The bill also requires the Department of Justice to test the sexual assault kit of a person who is cooperating with law enforcement within 90 days of collection and requires DOJ to store all sexual assault kits for 50 years or until the end of the term of imprisonment or probation of a person convicted in the sexual assault case.
