Now that more than 7,000 untested rape kits have been identified in Oklahoma, a task force that's working to make recommendations for the state moving forward has been weighing the question of how to proceed.

The task force is scheduled to meet Monday to try to finalize its recommendations for Gov. Mary Fallin and state legislative leaders ahead of a July 1 deadline.

Last year, Fallin signed an executive order directing law enforcement agencies to audit their evidence rooms and report their number of untested rape kits. She also created the Oklahoma Task Force on Sexual Assault Forensic Evidence and charged the group with making recommendations based on the results of the statewide audit.

A total of 312 law enforcement agencies reported 7,270 untested rape kits as of a May 31 cutoff date set by the task force. Another 120 agencies didn't respond to the audit directive.
