TITLE 6: CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
DIVISION 4: DISPOSITION OF OFFENDERS
§ 4118. Notice of Release of Offender. (a) Whenever: (1) The court suspends the sentence of a defendant convicted of a crime against the person, or of an attempt to commit such on offense, or places such defendant on probation without requiring the serving of a term of imprisonment; (2) A prisoner is placed on parole, placed on work release or released from parole by authorities; (3) A prisoner is given final unconditional release from a correctional facility by the Department of Public Safety or other appropriate authority, and when such prisoner has not been paroled or earlier discharged, then the court, or authority, or the Department of Public Safety or other appropriate authority, shall provide written notice to each victim of such offense of the suspension of the sentence, probation, parole, work release, or final unconditional release, as the case may be, of the prisoner or parolee. Notice shall be given to the victim at the latest known address or such other address as may be provided to the court by the victim from time to time. (b) Neither the failure of any Commonwealth judge, officer, or employee to carry out the requirements of this section nor compliance with it shall subject the Commonwealth judge, officer, or employee to liability for any civil action. However, such failure may provide a basis for such disciplinary action as may be deemed appropriate by competent authority. Source: PL 7-6, § 2 (§ 4118).
