Bill > AB1681

This bill, by amending Section 679.02 of the Penal Code, aims to enhance victim and witness rights by requiring courts and prosecuting agencies (like the district attorney's office) to provide the contact information of victims and their next of kin to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) at the time of sentencing in cases resulting in a state prison sentence; this ensures that the CDCR has this information even if the victim doesn't separately request services, and it is considered a state-mandated local program, meaning the state will reimburse local agencies for any associated costs.
