Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to providing notification to victims of crime about the address confidentiality program

AI Summary

This bill requires the office of victim services, in cooperation with the division of criminal justice services, to modify existing notification procedures for crime victims to include information about the Address Confidentiality Program (ACP). Specifically, the bill mandates that when police officers, county sheriff departments, and state police officers provide victims with information about their rights and available victim assistance programs, they must also inform victims about the ACP. The Address Confidentiality Program is a service that helps victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking protect their personal safety by providing them with a confidential substitute address to help prevent their actual residential address from being disclosed. The bill aims to ensure that victims are aware of this protective resource as part of the standard victim notification process. The changes will take effect immediately upon enactment.
