| 1 | | AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 3096
| 2 | | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 3096 by replacing | 3 | | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| 4 | | "Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the | 5 | | Sexual Assault Incident Procedure Act. | 6 | | Section 5. Legislative Findings. The General Assembly | 7 | | finds: | 8 | | (1) Sexual assault and sexual abuse are personal and | 9 | | violent crimes that disproportionately impact women, children, | 10 | | lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals in | 11 | | Illinois, yet only a small percentage of these crimes are | 12 | | reported, less than one in five, and even fewer result in a | 13 | | conviction. | 14 | | (2) The trauma of sexual assault and sexual abuse often | 15 | | leads to severe mental, physical, and economic consequences for | 16 | | the victim. |

|
| 1 | | (3) The diminished ability of victims to recover from their | 2 | | assault or sexual abuse has been directly linked to the | 3 | | response of others to their trauma. | 4 | | (4) The response of law enforcement can directly impact a | 5 | | victim's ability to heal as well as his or her willingness to | 6 | | actively participate in the investigation by law enforcement. | 7 | | (5) Research has shown that a traumatic event impacts | 8 | | memory consolidation and encoding. Allowing a victim to | 9 | | complete at least 2 full sleep cycles before an in-depth | 10 | | interview can improve the victim's ability to provide a history | 11 | | of the sexual assault or sexual abuse. | 12 | | (6) Victim participation is critical to the successful | 13 | | identification and prosecution of sexual predators. To | 14 | | facilitate victim participation, law enforcement should inform | 15 | | victims of the testing of physical evidence and the results of | 16 | | such testing. | 17 | | (7) Identification and successful prosecution of sexual | 18 | | predators prevents new victimization. For this reason, | 19 | | improving the response of the criminal justice system to | 20 | | victims of sexual assault and sexual abuse is critical to | 21 | | protecting public safety. | 22 | | Section 10. Definitions. In this Act: | 23 | | "Board" means the Illinois Law Enforcement Training | 24 | | Standards Board. | 25 | | "Evidence-based, trauma-informed, victim-centered" means |
| | | 09900SB3096sam001 | - 3 - | LRB099 17887 SLF 46935 a |
|
| 1 | | policies, procedures, programs, and practices that have been | 2 | | demonstrated to minimize retraumatization associated with the | 3 | | criminal justice process by recognizing the presence of trauma | 4 | | symptoms and acknowledging the role that trauma has played in a | 5 | | sexual assault or sexual abuse victim's life and focusing on | 6 | | the needs and concerns of a victim that ensures compassionate | 7 | | and sensitive delivery of services in a nonjudgmental manner. | 8 | | "Law enforcement agency having jurisdiction" means the law | 9 | | enforcement agency in the jurisdiction where an alleged sexual | 10 | | assault or sexual abuse occurred. | 11 | | "Sexual assault evidence" means evidence collected in | 12 | | connection with a sexual assault or sexual abuse investigation, | 13 | | including, but not limited to, evidence collected using the | 14 | | Illinois State Police Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kit as | 15 | | defined in Section 1a of the Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency | 16 | | Treatment Act. | 17 | | "Sexual assault or sexual abuse" means an act of | 18 | | nonconsensual sexual conduct or sexual penetration, as defined | 19 | | in Section 12-12 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or Section 11-0.1 | 20 | | of the Criminal Code of 2012, including, without limitation, | 21 | | acts prohibited under Sections 12-13 through 12-16 of the | 22 | | Criminal Code of 1961 or Sections 11-1.20 through 11-1.60 of | 23 | | the Criminal Code of 2012. | 24 | | Section 15.
