This bill mandates the posting of signs and distribution of pamphlets in emergency rooms to provide information about the Victims of Crime Compensation Office (VCCO). The Commissioner of Health, in collaboration with the Attorney General, is tasked with developing and producing these materials, which must be clearly written and easily understandable. The pamphlets and signs will include details about the services and benefits offered by the VCCO, contact information, and the procedures for filing a victims compensation claim.

The requirement applies to all emergency departments in general hospitals and licensed satellite emergency departments. The bill aims to ensure that victims of crime have access to essential information regarding their rights and available support services at a critical time. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the fourth month following its enactment.
