HB 3460 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to examinations and medical care for victims of sexual assault

HB 3460 (the "Assistance for Rape Emergencies (CARE) Act") requires hospitals and affiliated health care facilities to provide specific medical care to sexual assault victims. It mandates that facilities: (1) verbally inform victims about emergency contraception, (2) immediately provide the full regimen if requested, and (3) offer sexually transmitted infection screening and treatment. The bill also establishes standards for forensic examinations, requiring trained providers or telehealth support for non-SANE staff, with limited waivers for technological barriers. This directly affects hospitals, health care facilities, and sexual assault victims across the state, standardizing emergency medical responses to sexual assault.
