Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Sexual Assault Evidence Submission Act. Provides that when a consistent DNA profile has been identified from submitted sexual assault evidence, the Department of State Police shall notify the investigating law enforcement agency of the match, and the Department shall track and maintain a record of its notification of, and the follow up by, the investigating law enforcement agency. Provides that the record maintained by the Department shall also document any written request, from the Department to the investigating law enforcement agency, seeking the submission of an additional DNA standard for a comparison analysis or confirmatory forensic analysis, and whether the investigating law enforcement agency has complied with those requests. Provides that if, after 60 days, the investigating law enforcement agency fails to comply with any request for an additional DNA standard, then the Department shall send a second written request to both the investigating law enforcement agency and the county Sheriff of the county where the agency is located. Provides that the Department shall maintain a record of the percentage of cases in which an additional DNA standard is submitted by the investigating law enforcement agency for a comparison analysis or confirmatory forensic analysis. Provides that, beginning June 1, 2016, each law enforcement agency must conduct an annual inventory of all sexual assault cases in the custody of the law enforcement agency and provide written notice of its annual findings to the Department. Provides that the Department shall compile and report the findings of each inventory under the Act. Requires the Department of State Police to file annual and quarterly reports regarding sexual assault evidence submissions. Effective immediately.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Sexual Assault Evidence Submission Act. Provides if a consistent DNA profile has been identified in a sexual assault case by comparing the submitted sexual assault evidence with a known standard from a suspect or with DNA profiles in the CODIS database, the Department of State Police shall notify the investigating law enforcement agency of the results in writing, and the Department shall provide an automatic courtesy copy of the written notification to the appropriate State's Attorney's Office for tracking and further action, as necessary. Provides that each law enforcement agency must conduct an annual inventory of all sexual assault cases in the custody of the law enforcement agency and provide written notice of its annual findings to the State's Attorney's Office having jurisdiction to ensure sexual assault cases are being submitted as provided by law. Provides that, beginning January 1, 2017 and each year thereafter, the Department of State Police shall publish a quarterly report on its website, indicating a breakdown of the number of sexual assault case submissions from every law enforcement agency. Effective immediately.
