Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Adults can pause rape kit testing
Adults 18 or older who are unsure about reporting can ask that their kit not be tested. If you make this request at the exam, the medical facility does not send the kit to a lab, and police keep it. If you ask later, tell the investigating agency: they must keep the kit, or have the lab return it if testing has not started. Giving a kit to lab staff only for transport or intake is not a test submission and must be logged. You can change your mind later and ask for testing at any time.
Faster rape kit testing timelines
For evidence collected on or after January 1, 2016, police must send rape‑kit evidence to a lab within 20 days after booking it, or use a rapid program that sends it from the hospital within five days. Crime labs must process evidence and, when possible, upload qualifying DNA profiles within 120 days, or send it to another lab within 30 days. After a profile is created, it must be uploaded to CODIS within 30 days. Labs may test representative samples instead of every item. A rapid program needs a written agreement among police, the lab, and the medical facility. Profiles that do not meet federal CODIS rules are not uploaded.
State may repay local mandate costs
If the Commission on State Mandates finds this law creates state‑mandated costs, the state reimburses local agencies and school districts under existing Government Code rules. Repayment happens only after the Commission makes that finding.
Victims can track kits and get notices
You can ask police for the status of DNA testing in your case. You can also use the state SAFE‑T portal to see your kit’s status. Police must tell you if a DNA profile was found, entered into databases, or matched a convicted offender, unless that would harm an active investigation. If testing is not done within six months before the filing deadline, they must tell you. Before destroying evidence in an unsolved case, police must give you 60 days’ written notice and keep the evidence at least 20 years, or until your 40th birthday if you were under 18. You may name an advocate or support person to get updates. To receive notices, you or your designee must keep your contact information current.
Limits on legal challenges and remedies
People accused or convicted cannot use failures to give notices under these rules to undo a case. A victim’s remedy for agency failures is limited to asking a court for an order (writ of mandamus) to force notice or evidence‑retention compliance.
