Rep. Angela Romero reminded her peers where she stands on at-home, do-it-yourself rape kits, just before a committee voted on what to do with her proposal to ban them.
“There’s no way [evidence collected with the kits] will ever be used in a court of law, and we’re letting down victims again,” the Democrat from Salt Lake City said. “I ran legislation just a week ago on affirmative consent. That got voted down, too. So, what are we telling survivors?”
As for senators’ suggestions that Romero might find a compromise with companies selling the kits, she told them, “If you’re going to vote it down, vote it down.”

A bill proposed by Rep. Angela Romero, D-Salt Lake City, in the state legislative session would prohibit the sale of over-the-counter sexual assault evidence kits in Utah.
A bill that would ban the sale of at-home, do-it-yourself rape kits in Utah unanimously passed committee Friday.
Critics labeled the DIY kits as “false hope” and listed concerns about whether these products fully served survivors’ needs and could be admitted in court, while the kits’ creators argued they provided an alternative option for victims who did not want to go to law enforcement.
