Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Stronger statewide SART leadership and reporting
The SART Advisory Committee is co-chaired by the KASAP CEO and the Kentucky State Police commissioner. The law lists who serves on the committee and limits some appointed members to four years without reappointment. The committee creates model response and evidence-handling protocols, helps regional centers start SARTs, and advises on law, training, policy, and budget. By July 1 each year, it reports last year’s numbers of reported assaults, kits submitted and tested, charges, and convictions.
Statewide SANE coordinator, registry, and plan
The Board of Nursing hires a statewide SANE coordinator to recruit, train, and connect SANEs with hospitals, police, and advocates. The Board runs an online registry of credentialed SANEs for hospitals and SANEs by December 1, 2026, and notifies new SANEs it is available. The Board works with partners to submit a regional plan to ensure SANE coverage for all Kentucky hospitals by December 1, 2026.
SANE credential, title protection, and fees
The Board of Nursing sets education and clinical experience rules for the SANE credential. Nurses must apply, show proof, and pay an application fee. Credential holders must complete continuing education to keep the credential. Only people with this credential may use the title “Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner” or “SANE.”
