Statewide kit tracking and victim notifications
The Department of Public Safety runs a confidential system to track sexual assault kits from collection to testing. Victims can check kit status and sign up for automatic updates. If a kit was collected from you, you have the right to be told where it is and the date it is scheduled for testing. Providers, police, and labs must enter kit data into the tracker in the form and time DPS sets. Within 14 days after a lab finishes testing, police must try to tell the victim that testing is complete. The law repeals an older reporting rule and lets DPS write rules to carry this out.
Faster timelines to send and test kits
Health care providers must tell law enforcement within 14 days after using a sexual assault kit. Law enforcement must send the kit to an accredited lab within 20 days. Labs must complete serology or DNA testing within 120 days of receiving a kit. If the case ends before testing, these deadlines do not apply. Missing a deadline alone cannot dismiss a case or make the evidence inadmissible. The law also clarifies who counts as a law enforcement agency and who counts as a victim for these rules.
