A 4199 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to victims assistance

This bill updates the state's crime victims' rights law by requiring district attorneys and courts to provide victims with a standardized informational pamphlet detailing their legal protections. The document will outline specific rights, including compensation, notification of court proceedings, protection from intimidation, the ability to submit impact statements, and access to restitution and parole hearing transcripts. To ensure accountability, the law mandates that district attorneys annually report their compliance with these distribution requirements to the Office of Victim Services. These changes aim to make victims more aware of the services and rights available to them throughout the criminal justice process.
