Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

6 provisions identified: 6 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Advance notice of parole and release

The Prisoner Review Board must notify registered victims, or those who ask in writing, about parole, supervised release, work release, transfers, or final discharge. Registered victims get written notice at least 30 days before parole hearings and can send statements in several ways, including by a toll‑free number. The Board provides a recent photo on request. The Department of Human Services keeps a statewide phone number to request notifications. For sex offenders, the Board or Juvenile Justice and the county sheriff notify the victim of eligibility for release or final discharge, at least 30 days before release when possible.

More notice and help for victims

Police must give you a written victims’ rights statement within 48 hours of first contact and get your signed receipt. Victims get timely notice of court dates, including 7 days’ notice, and the right to be present and be heard. You can talk to the prosecutor, have an advocate and a support person in court, and seek restitution. Prosecutors must consult you before key plea and sentencing decisions when possible and request restitution if you ask. Clerks must post victims’ rights within 3 feet of courtroom doors. A DNA profile taken because you are a victim is not put in DNA databases, unless federal rules require it.

Police must document domestic violence

When police investigate abuse between family or household members, they must write a report for any bona fide allegation. The report must include your statements about how often and how severe prior incidents were, and the number of prior police calls. Officers must not refuse to complete these reports. Each report is recorded and compiled as a domestic crime.

Stronger rules for sexual assault reports

Police must complete a written report when someone reports sexual assault or sexual abuse, even if it happened elsewhere. The report must include victim, incident, suspect, and evidence‑kit details, and whether a state evidence kit was done. If it happened in another jurisdiction, the officer must send the report within 24 hours, and the other agency must confirm within 24 hours and give a victim contact number. Police cannot require a sexual‑assault victim to submit to an interview.

Police cannot discourage victim reports

Law enforcement officers and agents may not try to stop a victim from filing a police report. This applies to all victims, including victims of retail crime, domestic abuse, and sexual assault.

Stronger rights for retail theft victims

If your store is a victim of certain retail theft or related crimes, it gets victims' rights. You get at least 7 days' notice of court dates. You can talk to the prosecutor, be heard at release, plea, and sentencing, and have an advocate in court. Police must file a report to the State’s Attorney unless you refuse. On request, police must give a free copy of the report within 5 business days.
