This proposed rule implements section 701 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007, Public Law 109-364. Section 701 amends Chapter 55 of title 10 section 1079(a) of the U.S.C. by authorizing coverage for forensic examinations following a sexual assault or domestic violence for eligible beneficiaries. This authorizes forensic examinations following sexual assault or domestic violence provided in civilian health care facilities (e.g., civilian rape crisis facilities), which is consistent with the services that are authorized in Military Medical Treatment Facilities for all beneficiaries who were victims of a sexual assault or domestic violence.
