This version transforms the bill document from legislative text into a fiscal analysis package. The original statutory language amending crime victim compensation law (P.L.1971, c.317) to create an exception to the police reporting requirement for sexual offense victims who received forensic medical services from sexual assault response teams is removed entirely and replaced with a Legislative Fiscal Estimate dated March 10, 2026. The fiscal estimate projects indeterminate annual cost increases to the Department of Law and Public Safety's Victims of Crime Compensation Office and provides historical context showing 428-436 sexual assault claims annually in recent fiscal years, totaling approximately $1.7 million per year. While the fiscal materials summarize the bill's substantive policy change, the actual statutory amendment text is no longer present in this version.
