Concerns sexual assault forensic evidence kits.*

New Jersey's S 3089, the "Sexual Assault Evidence Submission Act," requires law enforcement agencies to submit sexual assault evidence (commonly called "rape kits") to designated forensic laboratories within 10 business days of receipt. It mandates that all submitted kits be analyzed within six months of receipt, contingent on available staffing and resources. The bill also addresses existing backlogs by requiring agencies to report unsubmitted cases within 45 days of enactment and to submit them within 180 days, while directing the State Police Superintendent to create a 120-day analysis plan for backlog cases. This directly affects municipal, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies handling sexual assault investigations.
