The Sexual Assault Evidence Submission Act mandates that law enforcement agencies submit sexual assault evidence, commonly known as rape kits, to the appropriate forensic laboratory within 10 business days of receipt. Additionally, the act requires that this evidence be analyzed within six months of receipt, contingent upon sufficient staffing and resources. Law enforcement agencies are also required to notify the Superintendent of State Police within 45 days of the number of sexual assault cases in their custody that have not yet been submitted for analysis. Following this, they have 180 days to ensure that all relevant cases collected prior to the act's effective date are submitted for analysis.

Furthermore, the act stipulates that any rape kit submitted must include a signed certification indicating its connection to a criminal investigation. The Attorney General is tasked with developing guidelines for the submission and analysis of sexual assault evidence. The act aims to streamline the process of handling sexual assault evidence, ensuring timely submission and analysis, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of investigations into sexual assault cases.
