ing analysis information and identification system DNA database as es-
tablished by this act shall be compatible with the procedures specified by

of the state of Kansas and to all prosecutor's agencies authorized criminal
justice agencies.

      (h) The Kansas bureau of investigation shall be the state central re-
pository for all genetic marker grouping analysis information DNA records
and DNA samples obtained pursuant to this act. The Kansas bureau of
investigation may shall promulgate rules and regulations for the form and
manner of the collection of blood and saliva samples, maintenance and
expungement of DNA samples and other procedures for the operation of
this act. These rules and regulations also shall require compliance with
national quality assurance standards to ensure that the DNA records sat-
isfy standards of acceptance of such records into the national DNA iden-
tification index. The provisions of the Kansas administrative procedure
act shall apply to all actions taken under the rules and regulations so
promulgated.

call or on duty at a medical care facility of this state, as defined by sub-
section (h) of K.S.A. 65-425, and amendments thereto, shall examine
persons who may be victims of sexual offenses cognizable as violations of
K.S.A. 21-3502, 21-3503, 21-3504, 21-3505, 21-3506, 21-3602 or 21-3603,
and amendments thereto, using Kansas bureau of investigation sexual

such crime. If the physician, licensed physician assistant or registered
professional nurse refuses to perform such physical examination the pros-
ecuting attorney is hereby empowered to seek a mandatory injunction
against such physician, licensed physician assistant or registered profes-
sional nurse to enforce the provisions of this act. Any refusal by a physi-

healing arts or the board of nursing, whichever is applicable, for appro-
priate disciplinary action. The department of health and environment, in
cooperation with the Kansas bureau of investigation, shall establish pro-
cedures for gathering evidence pursuant to this section. A minor may
consent to examination under this section. Such consent is not subject to
disaffirmance because of minority, and consent of parent or guardian of
the minor is not required for such examination. The hospital or medical
facility shall give written notice to the parent or guardian of a minor that
such an examination has taken place.

      (b) Costs of conducting an examination of a victim as herein provided
including the costs of the sexual assault evidence collection kits shall be
charged to and paid by the county where the alleged offense was com-
mitted. Such county may charge the defendant for the costs paid herein
as court costs assessed pursuant to K.S.A. 28-172a or 28-172c, and amend-
ments thereto.
