HB 378 New Hampshire House · 2024 Regular Session

expanding the information provided to survivors of sexual assault regarding their existing rights.

This bill requires the state Attorney General to send written notices to hospitals, law enforcement agencies, and other service providers detailing specific rights for sexual assault survivors. The notice would inform these entities about rights such as receiving free medical exams, accessing victim compensation, and understanding how evidence collection kits are stored and preserved. Additionally, the bill mandates that healthcare providers and law officers make a reasonable effort to share this information directly with survivors. Finally, the Attorney General must make this information publicly available on their official website.
