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 stipulates that the attorney general shall reimburse health care facilities or professionals for reasonable costs associated with these services, specifically stating that reimbursements will be made from the general fund. Additionally, the bill ensures that accredited children's advocacy centers in the state will also receive reimbursements from the general fund for forensic interviews that are not covered by Medicaid or crime victims compensation. This amendment aims to provide better financial support for the medical and forensic services required for victims of sexual assault.
