Joint legislative task force on sexual assault exams extended one more year

Contact: Shannon McClelland

The Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) Best Practices Task Force, established in 2015, was set to expire this year but the Legislature’s proposed operating budget includes a proviso that extends the expiration of the task force to June 30, 2019. The task force was established to review best practices for sexual assault examinations and to reduce the number of untested sexual assault examination kits collected.

AWC is a member of the task force.
