SB87 clarifies that South Dakota counties must pay for the full cost of forensic medical exams for sexual assault victims, including provider services, lab tests for sexually transmitted diseases, medications, and imaging. The bill also requires hospitals and clinics that perform these exams to work with counties to set up payment processes and inform victims about costs upfront.
