2005 House Bill 4588 ↩

Senate Roll Call 451: Passed

To update many provisions of the crime victim's rights act to reflect changes in the criminal code and practices since the act was passed in 1985. Among many other revisions, the bill extends to victims the right to receive information changes to the institutionalization status of a perpetrator who was found not guilty by reason of insanity; and requires full restitution of those whose cases are resolved by a so-called forgiveness law, such as assignment to “youthful trainee status,” deferred or delayed sentence or entry of judgment, or in another way that is not an acquittal, conviction, or unconditional dismissal.
