A new bill filed by State Rep. Johnson-Hostler in the North Carolina House seeks to mandate annual reporting from nursing programs that train sexual assault nurse examiners, according to the North Carolina State House.
The bill, filed as HB 1001 on April 10 during the 2025 regular session, was formally listed with the short title: ‘Reports Related to Sexual Assault Exams.’
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill mandates that programs approved by the North Carolina Board of Nursing to train sexual assault nurse examiners must submit annual reports to the Board by October 1 each year. These reports should provide information on all program graduates, including the total number of graduates, their county of employment, and, if available, their current or intended job placement. The North Carolina Board of Nursing is authorized to adopt rules to implement these requirements. The bill is set to become effective on Aug. 1, 2025.
Of the two sponsors of this bill, Grant L. Campbell, MD proposed the most bills (60) during the 2025 regular session.
Bills in North Carolina follow a multi-step process before becoming law. A lawmaker starts by filing a bill, which is assigned to a committee for review. The bill must be read three times in each chamber. If one chamber changes the bill after the other passes it, both must agree on the final version. Once both chambers approve the same bill, it goes to the governor, who has 10 days (or 30 if the legislature is not in session) to sign, veto, or let it become law without a signature.
