The bill amends Section 11-37-13.3 of the General Laws in Chapter 11-37, titled "Sexual Assault," to enhance the reporting requirements for law enforcement officers responding to sexual assault or child molestation incidents. It introduces a new "domestic violence/sexual assault reporting form" that must be completed upon probable cause for arrest or referral to the attorney general's office, replacing the previous "sexual assault report (DV/SA-1)." The bill also mandates that law enforcement agencies electronically submit these forms and corresponding police report narratives monthly, or as soon as practicable for ongoing investigations, ensuring timely and accurate data collection on such incidents.

Additionally, the bill expands the information required on the reporting forms to include details such as the existence of language barriers and other relevant data necessary for a complete analysis of the incident. It specifies that the domestic violence training and monitoring unit within the administrative office of state courts will oversee the form and submission process. Furthermore, it stipulates that upon acquittal, dismissal, or exoneration, the reporting forms will be expunged by the unit. This act is set to take effect upon passage.
