What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, when a person is convicted of a crime, the clerk of the court for the county in which the person was convicted and sentenced must provide to the crime victim a notification card that the victim may fill out to request notifications regarding future court proceedings involving the criminal defendant.
This bill provides that, if the county in which the criminal defendant is convicted and sentenced has a victim and witness office, that the victim and witness office must provide the notification cards to the crime victim rather than the clerk of the court.
