What’s in it
This bill relates to the provision of law enforcement records to a registered victim. The bill provides that a county attorney shall provide a victim registered with the county attorney’s office with a copy of any reports prepared by law enforcement upon the filing of a complaint against a defendant in a criminal case relating to the crime for which the person is a registered victim. The bill provides that if the prosecuting attorney determines that disclosure of reports prepared by law enforcement would unreasonably interfere with the investigation of the case, the county attorney can withhold the release of the reports from the victim.
