This bill mandates that employers report allegations of sexual assault involving consumers or employees to local law enforcement or the county prosecutor within 24 hours of receiving such reports. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in a civil penalty of $10,000. The bill emphasizes that employers are not restricted from conducting their own investigations or taking disciplinary action against the alleged perpetrator, and it clarifies that local law enforcement and prosecutors retain discretion over resource allocation for investigations.

Additionally, if a county prosecutor receives a report of an alleged sexual assault, they are required to appoint an advocate from the Sexual Assault Response Team upon the request of the accuser. This advocate will inform the victim about available services, including medical treatment, counseling, legal options, and mental health support. The bill aims to enhance the response to sexual assault allegations in the workplace and ensure that victims receive necessary support during investigations.
