What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a victim of a crime of which a person is convicted or any other crime to be considered by the court at sentencing has the right to make or provide a statement before the court imposes the sentence. Current law also requires the prosecutor to make a reasonable attempt to contact any known victim to inform him or her of that right.
This bill revises the prosecutor's obligation to provide a known victim notice of his or her right to make a statement with respect to the time at which that obligation must be met. Specifically, the bill eliminates the requirement that the notice be provided after a conviction. Thus, under the bill, the prosecutor may provide the victim notice of his or her right at any time during the proceedings.
