SB 6502-S - DIGEST |
(AS OF SENATE 2ND READING 2/09/06) |
Creates a statewide automated victim information and notification system. |
Finds that notifying victims of crime when their offender is released from incarceration, transferred, or served with a protective order is vital to enhancing the safety and mental well-being of a victim. In recognition of the victim's needs, some Washington state local governments have implemented a victim notification system. However, only a few local governments have implemented these systems which are presently not connected to an interoperable statewide system. |
Declares it is the intent of this act to provide victims throughout our state with the knowledge they need to secure their physical and mental well-being. |
