A survivor has the right to consult with a sexual assault counselor during a sexual assault forensic examination and has the right to have a sexual assault counselor present during any interview by a law enforcement officer, prosecutor, defense attorney or professional investigator about the reported sexual assault. A survivor retains this right even if the survivor has waived the right in a previous examination or interview. [PL 2023, c. 199, §1 (NEW).]
