Prosecutors must join sexual assault kit tracking

Beginning August 1, 2026, Louisiana district attorney offices holding sexual assault collection kits must fully participate in statewide tracking. Law enforcement agencies and healthcare providers holding kits must also participate. All must supply the information the system requires. State Police can phase in participation by region or volume. The law removes the former July 1, 2024 participation deadline without setting a replacement. The text also requires State Police to report on system status and rollout plans, including phased implementation, by January 1, 2024. Report recipients are the Louisiana Sexual Assault Oversight Commission, Senate Judiciary B Committee, House Administration of Criminal Justice Committee, and Governor.
