An Act amending the act of November 29, 2006 (P.L.1471, No.165), known as the Sexual Assault Testing and Evidence Collection Act, further providing for definitions; providing for sexual assault evidence tracking system; further providing for rights of sexual assault victims and for report by Pennsylvania State Police; and providing for waiver for victim.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's Sexual Assault Testing and Evidence Collection Act to clarify definitions and improve how evidence is managed. It designates the Pennsylvania State Police as the sole entity responsible for maintaining and operating the statewide tracking system used to record sexual assault evidence kits. The legislation also establishes that information in this system is intended solely as a resource for victims and cannot be used in court to challenge the legal chain of custody for evidence. Additionally, the bill adjusts the timeline for certain reporting requirements, changing the deadline from a specific date to a period of 60 days.
