BILL NUMBER: S7867

SPONSOR: BIAGGI
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the public health law, in relation to implementing a
statewide electronic tracking system for evidence collection kits used
to collect and preserve evidence of a sexual assault or other sex
offense

 
PURPOSE:

This bill establishes a statewide electronic tracking system for rape
kits.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 adds a new subdivision 8 of section 2805-i of the public
health law, to require the Division of Criminal Justice Services in
consultation with the Department of Health, Office of Victim Services,
and Division of State Police to establish a statewide electronic track-
ing system for rape kits. The system must track the location and status

of each evidence collection kit through the criminal justice process,
including the initial collection of evidence for the kit performed at a
healthcare facility, receipt and storage of the evidence collection kit
at a law enforcement agency, receipt and analysis of the evidence.

Healthcare facilities which perform forensic medical examinations, law
enforcement agencies, accredited crime laboratories, prosecutors and
other entities must provide a chain of custody for an evidence
collection kit to update and track the status and location of the kits.
Survivors will have the ability to anonymously track or receive updates
regarding the status and location of their evidence collection kit.

Section 2 establishes the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Currently 33 states and Washington DC have either implemented or are in
the process of implementing sexual assault kit tracking systems.

These tracking systems give survivors agency and allow them to access
information about the status of their rape kit, when and if, they are
ready. Often, survivors leave the hospital and never hear about their
kit again. Those who follow up with law enforcement have reported facing
trauma, victim blaming, or contempt and disregard for their sexual
assault. Access to information about the status and location of their
rape kits can help survivors counter the loss of self-determination and
control that is often at the core of a sexual assault experience. When
systems have a victim portal, it allows the survivor to have clarity on
the status and location of their kit. These systems are also a crucial
tool to hold hospitals, law enforcement, and state labs accountable for
timely processing.

The 2018 enacted budget required the Department of Health, Office of
Victim Services, Department of Criminal Justice Services, and Division
of State Police to jointly study and make recommendations on creating a
statewide tracking system. Unfortunately, this directive has yet to
result in the state creating a tracking system. This legislation will
require Division of Criminal Justice Services in consultation with the
Department of Health, Office of Victim Services, and Division of State
Police to develop a rape kit tracking system. All medical providers, law
enforcement, forensic laboratories, and any other individuals or enti-
ties that have custody of the kit will be required to participate no
later than January 1, 2024.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Undetermined.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
