(INDIANAPOLIS) - Senate Bill 264 introduced in the state legislature aims to fix a system that has left thousands of rape kits untested throughout Indiana.
Kristen Pulice with the Coalition to End Sexual Assault says the reform is a beginning to help victims who are seeing their cases left unprosecuted.
The Bill requires the statewide sexual assault response team (ISART) to prepare a report regarding:
(1) the feasibility of creating a kit tracking and testing data base;
(2) the identity of the supervising agency or entity responsible for creating, operating, managing, and maintaining the kit tracking and testing data base; and
(3) possible sources of funding for the kit tracking and testing data base. Requires ISART to submit a report to the legislative council in an electronic format not later than December 1, 2018.
