SB 1104 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

police reports; victims; prosecuting agency

SB 1104 requires Arizona law enforcement agencies to provide victims of crime with standardized materials detailing their rights and available services. It directly affects victims by ensuring they receive clear information about their rights under Arizona's Victims' Bill of Rights, access to crisis services, domestic violence protections, and how to request case status updates (including a 30-day notification if no arrest is made). Key mechanisms include mandating specific content in victim notification materials, establishing procedures for law enforcement to report victim requests/waivers to probation and prosecutors, and ensuring juvenile case notifications follow consistent timelines. The bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes §8-386 (for juvenile cases) and §13-4405 (for all criminal offenses) to standardize these victim notification processes.
