Classifies victim-identifying supporting documentation submitted to the sexual assault exam payment program as private data on individuals.

Establishes consistent definition of "crime victim" across multiple statutes by referencing section 611A.01, paragraph (b), which includes the direct victim and family members, guardians, or conservators of minors, incompetent, incapacitated, or deceased persons.

Excludes voluntary donations or gifts as a collateral source for crime victim reimbursement under sections 611A.51 to 611A.68, meaning victims cannot have awards reduced by such voluntary assistance.

Maintains sexual assault exam costs at $1,400 maximum reimbursement (adjusted annually for inflation beginning January 1, 2024) and ensures costs are paid by the state without requiring victim authorization for insurance reimbursement.

Enhances victim notification requirements in parole, commitment, and bail proceedings by ensuring victims are informed of hearings and given opportunities to submit statements regarding decisions affecting accused or convicted individuals.
