SEXUAL ASSAULT EVIDENCE-NOTIFY

Amends the Sexual Assault Evidence Submission Act. Provides that if a consistent DNA profile has been identified by comparing the submitted sexual assault evidence with a known standard from a suspect or with DNA profiles in the CODIS database, the Illinois State Police shall notify the investigating law enforcement agency of the results in writing within 7 days after notification. Provides that within 5 days after receiving notification, the investigating law enforcement agency must: (1) send acknowledgment to the Illinois State Police or designated laboratory that the law enforcement agency has received the notification; (2) provide any additional information concerning the match to the Illinois State Police or the designated laboratory as requested by the Illinois State Police or designated laboratory; and (3) notify the survivor of (i) the match, if disclosing the match would not interfere with the investigation or prosecution of the offense or (ii) the estimated date on which the match is expected to be disclosed if disclosing the match would interfere with the investigation or prosecution of the offense. Provides that, if a law enforcement agency is unable to reach a survivor within 5 days after receiving notification of a DNA profile match from the Illinois State Police, the law enforcement agency shall continue to make reasonable efforts to notify the survivor. Requires, within 30 days after receiving notification of a DNA profile match from the Illinois State Police, the investigating law enforcement agency to send notification to the Illinois State Police indicating if the individual associated with the DNA profile is a suspect in the investigation and, if the individual associated with the DNA profile is a suspect in the investigation, submit a DNA profile of that individual to the Illinois State Police for analysis. Provides that the sexual assault evidence tracking system must allow the investigating law enforcement agency to prohibit access to information regarding DNA matches and follow-up investigations to the victim if the law enforcement agency would determine that doing so would interfere with the investigation or prosecution of the crime.
