IN RE: | SB1745 by Zaffirini (Relating to the right of certain sexual assault victims to a forensic medical examination.), As Engrossed |
Generally, the investigating law enforcement agency pays for forensic medical tests in cases of sexual assault, and the victim or their insurance pays for other medical treatment required as a result of the assault. Provisions of the bill are not expected to significantly increase the number of forensic tests conducted and paid for by local law enforcement agencies.
