The bill amends subsection 3 of section 12.1-34-07 of the North Dakota Century Code to enhance the reimbursement process for medical screenings and examinations of sexual assault victims. It specifies that the attorney general will reimburse health care facilities or professionals for reasonable costs associated with these medical services, with the funding sourced from the general fund. Additionally, the bill ensures that accredited children's advocacy centers in North Dakota will receive reimbursement for forensic interviews that are not covered by Medicaid or crime victims compensation, contingent upon legislative appropriations. This amendment aims to provide better support and resources for victims of sexual assault and the professionals who assist them.
