the state would fall under the "law enforcement" category because the
training is to benefit law enforcement.
(1) Applicants must certify that they will comply with the following
requirements:
(a) Forensic Medical Examination Payments - Health care facilities
shall conduct a forensic medical examination of a victim of an alleged
sexual assault if the victim arrived at the facility within 96 hours after
the assault occurred and the victim consented to the examination. The
victim is not required to participate in the investigation or prosecution
of an offence as a condition of receiving a forensic medical examina-
tion, nor pay for the forensic examination or the evidence collection
kit. In addition, if a health care facility does not provide diagnosis or
treatment services for sexual assault victims, the facility is required to
refer the victim to a facility that provides those services. A law enforce-
ment agency that requests a forensic medical examination of a victim
of sexual assault shall pay full cost of the examination. Crime Victim
Compensation funds may be used to pay for forensic medical exam-
inations performed by trained examiners except that such funds may
not be used to pay for the examinations if victims of sexual assault are
required to seek reimbursement for such examinations from their in-
surance carriers.
(b) Polygraph Testing Prohibition - A peace officer or attorney repre-
senting the state may not require an adult or child victim of an alleged
sex offense to submit to a polygraph examination or other truth telling
device as a condition for proceeding with the investigation of such an
offense. In addition, the refusal of a victim to submit to a polygraph
or other truth telling examination will not prevent the investigation,
charging, or prosecution of an alleged sex offense or on the basis of the
results of a polygraph examination.
(c) Protection Orders - Neither victims applying for a protective order
nor their attorney may bear the costs associated with the filing of an
order of protections.
(d) Judicial Notification - Offenders involved in a protection order are
not allowed to possess a firearm unless the offender is a peace officer
who is actively engaged in employment as a sworn, full-time paid em-
ployee of a state agency or political subdivision.
(e) Criminal Charges - In connection with the prosecution of any misde-
meanor or felony domestic violence offense, the victim may not bear
the costs associated with the filing of criminal charges against a do-
mestic violence offender, issuance or service of a warrant, or witness
subpoena.
(f) Nondisclosure of Confidential or Private Information - Personally
identifying information or individual information collected in connec-
tion with services requested, utilized, or denied may not be disclosed;
or, reveal individual client information without informed, written, rea-
sonably time-limited consent of the person about whom information
is sought. If release of information is compelled by statutory or court
mandate, reasonable attempts to provide notice to victims affected by
the disclosure of information will be made and steps necessary will betaken to protect the privacy and safety of the persons affected by the
release of information.
