What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
