Gov. Kathy Hochul signs bill aimed at keeping track of rape kits
NEW YORK -- Gov. Kathy Hochul on Wednesday signed a bill aimed at keeping track of rape kits.
For years, there's been a national backlog of more than 100,000 kits containing evidence collected from victims.
Now, investigators will have a way to electronically track rape kits through a statewide system.
The backlog has delayed justice for sexual assault survivors.
