AI Summary

This bill requires the department of correction to electronically notify the county sheriff, prosecuting attorney, and chief of police at least seven days before releasing or discharging a serious violent felon, or a juvenile adjudicated for an offense that would be a serious violent felony, specifying the county or municipality of release and the county or municipality where the offense occurred. It also mandates that the department notify registered victims through its automated victim notification system, and that courts and prosecuting attorneys inform victims about this system and their right to request updates on the progress of their criminal case. Additionally, the bill requires law enforcement hiring departments or agencies to request all documents related to disciplinary action or internal investigations from prior employers before hiring a new officer, rather than just findings and orders.
