What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law contains procedures for the transmission, processing, and storage of sexual assault kits. Under current law, once the state crime laboratories takes possession of a sexual assault kit, it must do one of the following: 1) if it has received the kit of a person who has not consented to analysis, securely store the kit for a period of 10 years; or 2) if it has received the kit of a person who has consented to analysis, process the kit in accordance with Department of Justice procedures and then send the kit to a law enforcement agency for storage for a statutorily prescribed period of time. This bill provides that the state crime laboratories must process the sexual assault kit of a person who has consented to analysis within 90 days after receiving the kit.
