This bill mandates the Attorney General to create a public awareness campaign aimed at enhancing community understanding of the Crime Victims Bill of Rights and the services offered by the Victims of Crime Compensation Office (VCCO). The campaign is designed to foster discussions within the community and raise awareness about the rights of crime victims and the compensation available to them.

The public awareness initiative will encompass various activities, including community outreach, training for relevant agencies and organizations, and disseminating information to the public. This information will cover the types of crimes eligible for compensation, the necessary documentation for filing claims, deadlines for submissions, and the specific benefits that the VCCO provides to victims. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
