Bill overview
This bill changes how costs for forensic medical examinations are handled for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence battery by strangulation in Nevada. Currently, counties are responsible for paying these costs. The bill shifts the responsibility to health care facilities, which can then seek reimbursement from the Department of Health and Human Services. It also prohibits these facilities from charging victims directly for these examinations and makes conforming changes to relevant laws. The bill aims to provide more accessible and affordable forensic medical care for survivors of crime.
