AB 1681: Victim’s and witness’ rights.
What AB 1681 does, verified August 15, 2026
This bill aims to enhance victim and witness rights by requiring the court and district attorney's office to provide the contact information of victims and their next of kin to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation at the time of sentencing in cases resulting in a state prison sentence. The bill would increase the burden on local prosecuting agencies, imposing a state-mandated local program. If the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs would be made according to statutory provisions.
