The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend existing statutes to expand the responsibilities of 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 language to include the charging prosecutorial agency as an additional source from which victims or their immediate family members can obtain these materials at no cost. This change aims to ensure that victims have access to necessary information from both law enforcement and prosecutorial entities.

Additionally, the bill would clarify that immediate family members of victims who are killed or incapacitated are entitled to receive video recordings from both the law enforcement agency and the charging prosecutorial agency. It also introduces a definition for "domestic violence offense" and makes various technical and conforming changes to the existing statutes. Overall, the updates aim to enhance the rights of victims and their families in accessing critical information related to criminal cases.
