What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, when a person who committed a crime petitions for release from a correctional facility, escapes from a correctional facility, is released from extended supervision or parole, petitions for a pardon, is placed into a community setting, or is conditionally or permanently released from a mental health facility, the victim of the person's crime is notified. If the victim of the crime was killed, the victim's family receives notification. If the notification relates to a petition for early release, sentence modification, or a pardon, the victim or the victim's family may testify against the person's petition.
Under this bill, if the victim was a law enforcement officer and was killed by the person, the law enforcement agency that employed the victim and the head of the bargaining unit that represented the victim must be notified under the same circumstances as a victim or the family of the victim. The bill affords the law enforcement agency and the head of the bargaining unit the same opportunities to testify against the person's petition for early release, sentence modification, or a pardon.
