Two bills that would set new standards under which a court may order a physical or psychological examination of alleged victims of sexual assault during criminal and civil proceedings have been introduced.
Both measures—A-5643 and A-5646—are sponsored by Assemblywoman Carol Murphy, D-Burlington, co-chairwoman of the Assembly Judiciary Committee, on Monday.
Murphy said she introduced the bills to better protect sexual assault victims.
