The resolution establishes the Joint Interim Study Commission on Local and County Victim Notification in Alabama, recognizing the critical need for improved communication regarding offender custody status to victims of crime. It highlights the current inadequacies in the notification system, particularly at the county and local levels, and the risk of losing existing services without state funding. The commission aims to address these issues by studying local victim notification practices and developing a comprehensive solution to ensure victims are informed and supported throughout the criminal justice process.

The commission will consist of various appointed members, including representatives from victim advocacy groups, legislative leaders, and law enforcement agencies, ensuring a diverse representation reflective of the state's demographics. The commission is tasked with meeting regularly, electing leadership, and ultimately preparing a report of its findings by the third legislative day of the 2025 Regular Session. Upon submission of the report, the commission will be dissolved. The resolution emphasizes the importance of victim notification in enhancing the safety and peace of mind for those affected by crime.
