This bill amends N.J.S.2C:45-2 to establish a notice requirement for victims or the nearest relatives of homicide victims when a defendant's probation or suspended sentence is modified or when the defendant is discharged. Specifically, the bill mandates that the probation division must notify these individuals upon the defendant's discharge from probation or suspension. Additionally, if there are any modifications or suspensions that result in a shortened period of suspension or probation, the probation division is also required to inform the victim or their nearest relative.

The changes introduced by this bill aim to enhance communication and transparency regarding the status of defendants who are on probation or have had their sentences suspended. By ensuring that victims and their families are kept informed, the bill seeks to provide them with a sense of security and awareness about the legal proceedings affecting their cases.
