The bill introduces a new section to chapter 12.1-34 of the North Dakota Century Code, establishing specific rights for survivors of sexual violence. It defines key terms such as "sexual assault victim advocate" and "sexual violence survivor," and outlines additional rights that these survivors must be afforded. These rights include the ability to consult with a sexual assault victim advocate during forensic medical examinations, the right to have privately retained counsel present when speaking with law enforcement, access to law enforcement reports at no cost, and the provision of a document from the attorney general that explains the rights of sexual violence survivors.

The bill emphasizes the importance of communication between survivors and their advocates, ensuring that such communications are privileged unless waived by the survivor. It also mandates that survivors receive information about their rights from medical providers or law enforcement officers upon initial contact. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance the support and protection available to survivors of sexual violence in North Dakota.
