This bill amends section 81-1850 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to expand the list of offenses that fall under victim notification requirements. New offenses included are manslaughter, motor vehicle homicide, various degrees of assault, terroristic threats, stalking, false imprisonment, sexual abuse by a school employee, and several forms of sexual assault and trafficking. The bill also removes previous references to certain offenses, such as first and second-degree assault, and updates the definitions of "covered offenses" to reflect these changes.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that victims must be notified by relevant authorities, such as the Board of Parole and the Department of Correctional Services, regarding various stages of the convicted person's incarceration and parole process. It emphasizes the confidentiality of victims' addresses and phone numbers, exempting them from public disclosure under Nebraska public records laws and federal freedom of information laws. The original section 81-1850 is repealed to implement these updates effectively.
