GUARANTEE NO COST TO VICTIMS FOR THE PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING AND FINDING THEIR ATTACKER!
My plan to clear the rape kit backlog would:
Require states to annually report the number of untested rape kits
Require testing within a short time frame
Give survivors the right to know the status of their rape kits
Increase the availability of rape kits nationwide

How about funding for increased personnel to complete these test kits. We have a shortage of qualified individuals to handle not only these types of tests but other crucial tests as well. Let’s invest in people.

This is horrifying.

And eliminate the statue of limitations on charging & reporting that some states currently have. Oh, and you can get a kit without reporting so it’s available for the survivor if/when they to decide to report & do not feel pressured to immediately report.

Yes; & yes. [note: “statute”]

Please include money for state and local jurisdictions to hire forensic scientists/technicians, build lab space, and perhaps hire/train cold case detectives.

Fine any state agencies that don’t comply? Give the proceeds of the fine to victim funds and prevention measures?

Bring in "Big Brother" and not the TV show.
