MINOR
The bill was amended to reorganize the text and clarify the rights of sexual assault survivors during police interviews. The changes primarily involve renumbering sections, updating the definition of who can be present during an interview to prioritize social workers and professionals over parents, and modifying the gender preference requirement to mandate that agencies make reasonable efforts to accommodate a survivor's request for a specific gender interviewer, including seeking help from other agencies if needed.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on the investigative process for sexual assault survivors, but the specific requirements for interview settings and personnel have been refined.
REQUIREMENT

The list of individuals allowed in the interview room was reordered and modified; the explicit mention of 'legal counsel' was removed, and the priority was shifted to ensure social workers and professionals are present before parents or support persons.

The requirement for same-gender interviewers was strengthened. Agencies are now required to make 'reasonable efforts' to accommodate a survivor's gender preference, including seeking assistance from other agencies, rather than just offering the option if available.

TECHNICAL

The bill text was reorganized and renumbered to improve clarity and flow, with the introduction of a new committee status indicating the bill was amended and discharged.
