This bill mandates that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs update Department directives within 18 months concerning the emergency management of acute sexual assault for covered veterans. These updated policies must ensure that VA medical facilities and police conform to new guidelines, including requiring facilities to employ or refer to certified Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) clinical providers or Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) . Additionally, facilities employing such providers must maintain a supply of unexpired rape kits , and veterans must be offered prophylaxis for sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy, if clinically indicated, along with local mental health counseling or referrals. The legislation also establishes clear guidance for Department police officers on documenting notifications to local law enforcement, balancing veteran confidentiality with reporting requirements. Furthermore, it requires annual training for Veterans Health Administration employees on these updated directives and for Department police officers on the new guidance, with specific requirements for in-person instruction and facility-specific information. Oversight for compliance will be conducted by the director of each Veteran Integrated Service Network.
