The sponsor's argument

Why Samra Brouk says this is needed

There is a fundamental need for crime victims to be kept informed concerning the criminal justice process in which they have become involved. In some cases, crime victims can lose track of the state of their case, miss court, dates, and not be informed on outcomes. At the closure of a criminal case acquittal at trial or sentencing for a felony - this bill would require the court clerk to mail the named crime victim a copy of the final disposition. For example: notifying the crime victim that the criminal defendant that has pled guilty has then been sentenced to a certain number of years or was given a fine of a certain number of dollars, or was sentenced to a certain number of years of probation, or was acquitted after trial. This legislation would provide restorative justice, closure, and finality to a criminal case that crime victims may not have otherwise because they were not present in court to witness and absorb this information them- selves.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
