8 This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa relating to the rights of a crime victim. The joint resolution provides that the following rights of a victim, being capable of protection without denying the constitutional rights of the defendant, shall not be denied or abridged by the state. A victim shall have the right to reasonable notice of, and shall not be excluded from, public proceedings relating to the offense; to be heard at any release, plea, sentencing, or other proceeding involving any right established by this section; to proceedings free from unreasonable delay; to reasonable notice of the release or escape of the defendant; to due consideration of the victim’s safety, dignity, and privacy; and to restitution.

The joint resolution provides that a victim or a victim’s lawful representative has standing to assert and enforce these rights. Nothing in the joint resolution provides grounds for a new trial or any claim of damages. Review of the denial of any right established, which may include interlocutory relief, shall be subject to standards of ordinary appellate review. The joint resolution provides that a victim includes any person against whom a criminal offense is committed or who is directly and proximately harmed by the commission of an act, which if committed by a competent adult, would constitute a crime. The joint resolution, if adopted, would be published and then referred to the next general assembly (89th) for adoption a second time, before being submitted to the electorate for ratification.
