HB 282 moves to amend
Title 17 of the O.C.G.A to increase the amount of time that law enforcement
agencies are required to preserve certain evidence of sexual assaults for 30
years from the date of the arrest, or seven years from the completion of
sentence, whichever occurs last. If there were no arrests such evidence shall
be preserved for 50 years. |
