HB 275-SEXUAL ASSAULT EXAMINATION KITS/TRACKING 3:19:43 PM CHAIR PRAX announced that the next order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 275 "An Act relating to sexual assault examination kits; establishing the sexual assault examination kit tracking system; and providing for an effective date." 3:20:16 PM LISA PURINTON, Legislative Liaison, Department of Public Safety, presented HB 275 on behalf of the sponsor, House Rules by request of the governor. She explained that HB 275 would require the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to maintain a sex assault examination kit tracking system to allow victims to log in online and track the location of their sex assault exam kit at any point in time in the process of the examination by the Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory ("Crime Lab"). 3:22:30 PM REPRESENTATIVE MINA asked if there is anything that would prohibit DPS from utilizing the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of a sexual assault victim for purposes outside of investigation. MS. PURINTON answered that once the kit is processed, the DNA information is entered in the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) for secure data storage, and it is against the rules of CODIS to enroll the DNA in any sort of database beside CODIS. 3:24:16 PM REPRESENTATIVE RUFFRIDGE announced he would offer neither Amendment 1 nor Amendment 2 [both in the committee packet]. 3:24:37 PM REPRESENTATIVE RUFFRIDGE moved to adopt Amendment 3 to HB 275, labeled 33-GH2317\A.3, C. Radford, 2/22/24, which read as follows: Page 2, line 3: Delete "30" Insert "20 [30]" CHAIR PRAX objected for the purpose of discussion. REPRESENTATIVE RUFFRIDGE explained Amendment 3, saying it would allow statutes to continue the downward pressure on the turnaround time for a sexual examination kit. 3:26:33 PM CHAIR PRAX asked Ms. Purinton how the Crime Lab would prioritize certain examination kits over others. 3:27:46 PM MS. PURINTON explained that she doesn't know if there is a priority on how examination kits are handled and said she would follow up with information later. 3:28:53 PM CHAIR PRAX removed his objection. There being no further objection, Amendment 3 to HB 275 was adopted. 3:29:05 PM REPRESENTATIVE RUFFRIDGE moved to adopt Amendment 4 to HB 275, labeled 33-GH2317\A.4, C. Radford, 2/22/24, which read as follows: Page 2, line 20: Delete "six months" Insert "120 days" REPRESENTATIVE RUFFRIDGE explained that Amendment 4 would decrease the timeframe from 6 months to 120 days or 4 months. REPRESENTATIVE SADDLER asked Representative Ruffridge if he had confidence that 120 days would be achievable. REPRESENTATIVE RUFFRIDGE offered his understanding from previous public testimony that the timeframe of 90 days is far too short and 6 months is too long, so 120 days was chosen as a good in between. CHAIR PRAX removed his objection. There being no further objection, Amendment 4 to HB 275 was adopted. 3:32:10 PM CHAIR PRAX announced that HB 275, [as amended], was held over.
