CA AB558

Requires local law enforcement agencies to annually report statistical information to the Department of Justice about rape kits collected, tested, and submitted for DNA analysis, beginning with reports due by July 1, 2012.

Mandates agencies track the total number of rape kits collected and tested, number submitted for DNA analysis, untested kits awaiting analysis, and untested kits not submitted for analysis, with separate counts for cases where the assailant's identity is unknown.

Makes reports subject to public inspection under the California Public Records Act.

Provisions become inoperative on July 1, 2016, and are repealed on January 1, 2017, unless extended by later legislation.

Authorizes state reimbursement to local agencies for any costs mandated by the bill through established statutory procedures.
