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

HF 372 establishes a state grant program under Iowa's Department of Justice to fund nonprofit organizations operating sexual assault forensic examination centers. Eligible nonprofits must be state-incorporated, employ sexual assault nurse examiners, maintain survivor-focused facilities, and prioritize sexual assault care as their main mission. The program requires grantees to provide medical forensic services to all survivors - including adults, children, people with disabilities, and rural Iowans - and offer trainings for medical staff, law enforcement, and the public on sexual assault services and prevention. Grantees must submit annual reports and may seek additional funding while receiving state reimbursement for operating costs, though they are not classified as state agencies.
