Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Easier exams and stronger privacy for survivors
You can get a sexual assault exam when you ask. Police can also request an exam with your written consent. Minors can consent on their own. The facility must notify a parent or guardian unless a family member is under investigation or telling would likely harm the child. If you ask for the exam yourself, the facility does not notify police without your written consent, unless another law requires it. If a qualified clinician refuses, a prosecutor can seek a court order and report the refusal to licensing boards.
Sexual assault exams free; counties pay
You are not billed for a sexual assault exam or the evidence kit. The Crime Victims Compensation Board sets the exam fee. The county where the assault happened pays, even if you do not report to police or do not qualify for other victim benefits. If a defendant later pays court costs, the paying entity is reimbursed.
Standard rules for evidence kits and testing
Clinicians must use Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) evidence kits or state‑approved kits. When a kit is being released to law enforcement, the public labs named in law must examine it. Unreported kits are sealed, sent to the KBI, and kept for 20 years before destruction. The KBI sets evidence procedures and may adopt rules to carry this out.
