Relates to allowing victim impact statements to be submitted at parole revocation hearings

Bill S 7972 allows victims of crimes to submit impact statements during parole revocation hearings for the individual who committed the crime. It amends current law to enable victims to provide written, audiotaped, or videotaped statements, or to meet personally with the presiding officer. Upon a victim's request, the department must inform them of the hearing details. If the presiding officer finds a parole violation, they must then inform the victim of their right to submit such a statement. This bill directly affects crime victims and individuals facing parole revocation.
