This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 609.2247, by adding a new subdivision that addresses the costs associated with medical examinations for victims of domestic assault by strangulation. Specifically, it stipulates that costs incurred by counties, cities, private hospitals, or emergency medical facilities, as well as private physicians, for conducting these examinations to gather evidence will be subject to payment and reimbursement provisions outlined in section 609.35.

The new legal language emphasizes the importance of ensuring that victims of domestic assault by strangulation have access to necessary medical examinations without the burden of cost. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, thereby providing a timeline for implementation of these provisions.
