HOUSE BILL NO. 182 An Act relating to testing of sexual assault examination kits; and providing for an effective date. 1:55:41 PM Co-Chair Johnston invited the bill sponsor to provide a summary of the bill. REPRESENTATIVE GERAN TARR, SPONSOR, relayed that currently state law required rape kits to be processed within 1 year. The bill would change the time to 6 months. 1:56:34 PM Co-Chair Johnston OPENED Public Testimony. 1:56:52 PM CARMEN LOWERY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ALASKA NETWORK ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT, reviewed that the network was a membership-based organization of 21 programs across the state that provided community services for victims of domestic violence. The network also engaged in prevention work and advocacy work to create conditions where sexual assault and domestic violence did not occur and to ensure that victims and survivors were treated with the utmost respect when their rights were violated. The network had been working with Representative Tarr on different iterations of the sexual assault kit initiative. She was very pleased to say that the network was very supportive of the committee substitute (CS) of HB 127. She suggested that although 6 months did not sound like a significant amount of time, a shorter period of getting information back to survivors was a good thing. She furthered that for a victim who reported a sexual assault or a sexual violence crime, they lived in a state of anxiety, stress, and anger while waiting for their results. The bill would reduce the time they did not know what was going on and providing some relief to a victim or survivor. She thought it sent a strong message that the state cared. Co-Chair Johnston indicated the amendments for the bill were due by Monday, March 9, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. 1:59:36 PM AT EASE 1:59:48 PM RECONVENED Co-Chair Johnston CLOSED Public Testimony. HB 182 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further consideration.
