An Act establishing a bill of rights for survivors of sexual assault and related purposes

This bill establishes an assurance of certain rights for survivors of sexual assault. It includes the right to consult with a sexual assault counselor and the ability to have a supporter present during medical or physical examinations, or during interviews with law enforcement, prosecutors, or defense attorneys. It codifies the confidentiality of communications between a survivor and sexual assault counselors despite the presence of a third party. It also governs the collection of sexual assault evidence, barring medical providers from charging the survivor for the examination and alerting the survivor to emergency contraceptive options. The bill sets standards for the right to counsel, maintenance of evidence, and commonsense limitations on how that evidence could be used to prosecute survivors.
