What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, a victim of a crime has the right, if he or she wishes, to be notified of certain events, such as when the person who committed the crime (offender) applies for and has a hearing for release to parole or extended supervision, sentence adjustment, or conditional release. A victim who wishes to receive notification may fill out a card requesting notification from a sentencing court or, when applicable, the Department of Corrections.

Under this bill, a victim of a crime also has the right, if he or she wishes, to be notified when an offender's release to parole or extended supervision is revoked for violating a condition of release.
