MINOR
This bill was amended to add a second sponsor (Senator Scarcella-Spanton) and update the legislative status to show the bill was discharged from committee, amended, and sent back for further review. The substantive policy content remains largely the same, with one key change: the timeline for law enforcement to retrieve sexual assault evidence kits from hospitals was extended from three days to seven days.
REQUIREMENT
