AI Summary
This bill aims to update and clarify the rights of victims in Nebraska by redefining key terms and adjusting procedures within the legal system. Notably, it establishes a clear definition for "victim" and "plea agreement" (an agreement where a charge is dismissed or reduced, or a defendant receives a lesser penalty after pleading guilty) to ensure consistent application across various legal contexts. The bill mandates that prosecuting attorneys must consult with victims before finalizing plea agreements, ensuring victims have a voice in the process. It also updates provisions related to victim notification about court proceedings, the defendant's status, and sentencing, and clarifies victim rights regarding presentence investigation reports and impact statements. Additionally, the bill repeals outdated sections of Nebraska law that previously defined "victim" and related provisions, consolidating these definitions and rights into a more streamlined framework.
