Relating to victim notification of certain scheduled court proceedings.
HB 2813 requires prosecutors to notify crime victims about court dates when victims request it. Victims must specifically ask for notification, and prosecutors must provide it at least 60 days before scheduled proceedings, or within 5 days if scheduling changes occur, or within 24 hours for emergency court actions. This applies only to criminal cases scheduled on or after September 1, 2025. The bill ensures victims receive timely updates about their case's court schedule without automatic notification.
