A bill for an act establishing a grant program for a nonprofit organization providing sexual assault forensic examination centers.

HF 705 establishes a grant program within Iowa's Department of Justice to fund a nonprofit organization operating sexual assault forensic examination centers. To qualify, the nonprofit must be Iowa-incorporated, employ sexual assault nurse examiners, maintain dedicated treatment facilities for survivors, and prioritize sexual assault care as its main purpose. The funded organization must provide medical forensic services to all survivors - including adults, children, rural Iowans, and underserved groups - and offer trainings for medical professionals, law enforcement, and the public on sexual assault services and prevention. It must also submit annual reports to the attorney general detailing services and trainings delivered.
