Stage submittedUpdated 5mo ago

This legislative proposal aims to strengthen the rights of victims and their relatives during criminal trials. It modifies the Code of Criminal Procedure to improve the right to be heard and updates the Violent Crimes Compensation Act to expand the eligibility of bereaved family members for financial compensation. The changes primarily affect victims of crimes and their surviving relatives, granting them greater participation in legal proceedings and broader access to state-funded compensation for violent crimes.
