Protective Services for Certain Victims and Witnesses

SB 1100 revises the legal definition of "serious felony offense" to determine eligibility for protective services for victims and witnesses. This change would directly affect individuals involved in cases where a serious felony is alleged, as it would clarify which cases qualify for these services. The bill's key provision is updating the definition to align with current legal standards, replacing the existing criteria. The abstract does not specify the exact changes to the definition, so the precise scope of affected cases remains unclear.
