Submission of sexual assault cases for review for prosecution
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
A law enforcement agency in possession of a complaint for an alleged sexual assault under Title
17-A, chapter 11 shall within 60 days of receiving the complaint inform the appropriate prosecutor of
any evidence and submit the complaint for review and a decision by the prosecutor regarding further
investigation and commencement of prosecution. Failure of a law enforcement agency to inform the
appropriate prosecutor of any evidence and submit a complaint to the appropriate prosecutor within 60
days as required by this section does not affect the validity of a later submission and prosecution. [PL
2019, c. 80, §1 (NEW); RR 2019, c. 1, Pt. A, §29 (RAL).]
