The proposed bill aims to establish 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 emphasizes the importance of these definitions in the context of the rights afforded to survivors. The bill stipulates that survivors have the right to consult with a sexual assault victim advocate during forensic medical examinations, with the communication being privileged unless waived by the survivor. Additionally, it grants survivors the right to have privately retained counsel present when speaking with law enforcement, and ensures access to law enforcement reports related to their case at no cost, with certain exceptions.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that survivors receive a document from medical providers or law enforcement that explains their rights under this section and other relevant laws. This document is intended to inform survivors of their entitlements and support them in navigating the legal process following an incident of sexual violence. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the legal protections and support available to sexual violence survivors in North Dakota.
