Item 1
 
its evidence storage facility and shall store the kit for at least
90 days from the time of receipt. If the victim reports the
offense during the 90 days, the victim may contact the hospital or
health care practitioner to determine the tracking number and which
law enforcement agency is storing the kit. The law enforcement
agency then shall transport the kit to the Maine State Police Crime
Laboratory. If the victim reports the alleged offense to a law
enforcement agency by the time the examination is complete, the
investigating law enforcement agency shall transport the kit
directly to the Maine State Police Crime Laboratory.

 
The bill also requires district attorneys to pay the expense
of the analysis of a drug or alcohol test performed as part of
the examination to obtain evidence for the prosecution.

 
The bill is an emergency in order to give the Victims'
Compensation Board and the Department of Public Safety time to
adopt the rules required under this Act and so that payment for
all forensic examinations conducted on or after November 1, 2000
will be made by the Victims' Compensation Board.
