This bill mandates the Attorney General of New Jersey to establish a Statewide sexual assault forensic evidence kit tracking system, commonly known as a rape kit tracking system. The Attorney General is required to issue guidelines or directives to implement this system, which will be Internet-based and accessible to various stakeholders, including victims, law enforcement officers, and healthcare facility employees. The system is designed to allow these individuals to track the sexual assault forensic evidence kits throughout the entire chain of custody, starting from the collection at a healthcare facility to the final disposition after laboratory processing and testing.

The bill emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability in the handling of sexual assault evidence, ensuring that all relevant parties can monitor the status of the kits. It is set to take effect on the first day of the seventh month following its enactment, although the Attorney General is permitted to take necessary administrative actions in advance to facilitate its implementation.
