Relating to the preservation of evidence collected from a forensic medical examination for certain sexual assaults.

HB 3119 extends the preservation period for sexual assault evidence collected during forensic medical exams from 5 years to 20 years, or until the victim turns 40 if they were under 17 at the time of the assault. It requires health departments to create a standard form for survivors who haven't consented to evidence release, explaining storage rules, how to request evidence release, and providing law enforcement and crisis center contacts. The bill applies only to evidence collected on or after September 1, 2025, with existing evidence governed by prior law. The Health and Human Services Commission must update the form by December 1, 2025, to reflect these changes.
