This bill proposes the creation of a new section in the North Dakota Century Code that outlines specific rights for survivors of sexual violence. It defines key terms such as "sexual assault victim advocate" and "sexual violence survivor," and establishes additional rights for survivors beyond those already provided in existing law. These rights include the ability to consult with a sexual assault victim advocate during forensic medical examinations, the privilege of communication with the advocate, the right to have privately retained counsel present during discussions with law enforcement, and access to law enforcement reports related to their case, with certain exceptions.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that survivors receive a document from the attorney general that explains their rights under this new section and other relevant laws. This document is to be provided by medical providers or law enforcement officers at the initial point of contact with the survivor. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance the support and legal protections available to individuals who have experienced sexual violence, ensuring they are informed of their rights and can access necessary advocacy services.
