CA SB215

Requires the Department of Justice to establish by July 1, 2022 a process allowing sexual assault survivors to privately and securely track their evidence kits electronically in the SAFE-T database.

Updates deadline for the tracking process from July 1, 2018 to July 1, 2022 and expands it to include real-time status and location updates, not just inquiries.

Mandates law enforcement agencies submit information to the SAFE-T database within 120 days of kit collection, including whether biological samples were submitted for DNA analysis and if a probative DNA profile was generated.

Requires laboratories to provide status updates every 120 days if DNA testing has not been conducted, continuing until testing occurs or the statute of limitations expires.

Specifies the SAFE-T database shall not contain victim or suspect identifying information, DNA profiles, or details that would impair pending investigations, with confidentiality protections except as required by Brady v. Maryland.
