An Act relative to the protection of the families of violent crime from intimidation

This bill directs the Secretary of Public Safety to work with the Judiciary and Trial Court to create a plan protecting families of violent crime victims from intimidation and taunting.

The legislation applies to victims' families both inside and outside of court settings. It does not establish new penalties itself but requires a report with recommendations for future action.
