An Act To Improve The Response To Complaints By Victims Of Crime And Enhance Victims' Rights

Summary

The law sets up a statewide, centralized complaint system run by the Attorney General’s Office for victims to report violations of their statutory rights by state, county or municipal agencies. It also adds new victim rights, including notice and a chance to be heard about subpoenas, the ability to have an attorney present at all stages of a criminal case, and access to information about sentencing and probation decisions. The Office must investigate complaints, make recommendations, and provide biennial reports on the program.
