The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend existing statutes to expand the responsibilities of the charging prosecutorial agency in relation to providing information to crime victims. Currently, victims have the right to receive police reports and video recordings from the investigating law enforcement agency at no charge. The bill would insert provisions that require the charging prosecutorial agency to also provide these materials to victims or their immediate family members if the victim is killed or incapacitated. This change aims to ensure that victims have access to necessary information from both law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies.

Additionally, the bill would make technical adjustments, such as clarifying the language regarding the procedures and resources available for the protection of victims in domestic violence cases. It would also define "domestic violence offense" and specify that victims have the right to receive copies of relevant materials from both the law enforcement agency and the charging prosecutorial agency. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the rights of victims by broadening the scope of agencies responsible for providing critical information and support.
