Forensic evidence: rape kits.

Abstract

Existing law, the Sexual Assault Victims' DNA Bill of Rights, authorizes a law enforcement agency investigating certain felony sex offenses, upon the request of the victim, and subject to the commitment of resources, to inform the victim whether or not a DNA profile was obtained from the testing of the rape kit evidence or other crime scene evidence from the case, whether or not that information has been entered into the Department of Justice Data Bank of case evidence, and whether or not there is a match between the DNA profile developed from the rape kit evidence or other crime scene evidence and a DNA profile contained in the Department of Justice Convicted Offender DNA Data Base, as specified. Existing law also requires that the victim be given written notification by the law enforcement agency if the law enforcement agency elects not to perform DNA testing of the rape kit evidence or other crime scene evidence, or intends to destroy or dispose of the rape kit evidence or other crime scene evidence prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations, as specified. The bill would establish a pilot program in 10 counties, commencing July 1, 2012, in which all rape kits collected in those counties after that date will be processed by the Department of Justice in department laboratories. The pilot program would be operative until July 1, 2015, or the date when all rape kits collected in the counties participating in the pilot project, during the period of July 1, 2012, through December 31, 2014, are counted, whichever comes first. The department would be required to test every rape kit collected by a pilot project county during the period of the pilot project. The bill would provide that these provisions would be repealed on January 1, 2016. By imposing additional burdens on local law enforcement entities, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
