Committee advances bill to create statewide SANE coordinator after LRC study
State Representative Rebecca Ramer presented House Bill 134, which echoes recommendations from a Legislative Research Commission study finding shortages of Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) and few SANE‑ready hospitals. "From that study, this was a top recommendation that we employ a statewide SANE coordinator," Ramer told the committee.

Committee adopted a substitute and members moved and seconded the bill without substantive debate. The clerk recorded the vote as unanimous. The sponsor said this bill is similar to the measure considered last year and is intended to strengthen statewide coordination and training for SANEs.

No fiscal or implementation details beyond the committee substitute were discussed in the transcript; the committee advanced the measure by unanimous vote.
