AN ACT relating to victims of crime; repealing, replacing and 
revising certain provisions requiring the notification of 
certain victims of crime upon changes in the custody 
status of an offender related to release, escape, residential 
confinement, clemency and parole; and providing other 
matters properly relating thereto. 
Legislative Counsel’s Digest: 
 Existing law establishes a statewide automated victim information and 1 
notification system known as the Victim Information Notification Everyday System 2 
in the Office of the Attorney General. The System consists of a toll-free telephone 3 
number and an Internet website through which a victim of crime or member of the 4 
public may register to receive certain information concerning a change in the 5 
custody status of an offender. (NRS 228.205) Existing law also authorizes the State 6 
Board of Parole Commissioners to enter into an agreement with the manager of an 7 
automated victim notification system that is capable of automatically notifying 8 
registered victims by telephone or electronic means of certain information related to 9 
a consideration of parole or certain terms of residential confinement. (NRS 10 
213.10915) Section 19 of this bill repeals these provisions related to the 11 
notification of victims of crime. 12 
 Instead, section 2 of this bill requires the Department of Corrections to 13 
establish an automated victim notification system that is capable of notifying 14 
victims of crime by telephone or electronic means of certain information 15 
concerning the residential confinement, parole, clemency, escape or release of an 16 
offender. Section 3 of this bill authorizes the Department to enter into an agreement 17 
with a person to manage the automated victim notification system established by 18 
section 2, prescribes the manner in which the person may be selected by the 19 
Department and requires the agreement to contain certain terms. 20 
 Existing law requires the Director of the Department of Corrections to notify a 21 
victim of crime by mail of the release or escape of an offender, if the victim 22 
provides a current address and requests notification. (NRS 209.521) Section 18 23   
 	– 2 – 
 
 
- 	*AB408* 
repeals these provisions related to notice by mail of the release or escape of an 24 
offender. Instead, section 2 requires the notice of the release or escape of an 25 
offender to be provided by the newly established automated victim notification 26 
system to victims of crime who are registered with the system. 27 
 Existing law provides that if any victim of a crime committed by an offender 28 
requests to be notified of certain events concerning the offender, the Division of 29 
Parole and Probation of the Department of Public Safety or the Department of 30 
Corrections, as applicable, is required to mail a notice to the victim under certain 31 
circumstances related to the residential confinement of the offender and advise the 32 
victim that the victim may submit certain documents concerning the matter. (NRS 33 
209.392, 209.3923, 209.3925, 209.429) However, existing law provides that if the 34 
victim registers with the automated victim notification system utilized by the State 35 
Board of Parole Commissioners, such notices related to residential confinement 36 
may be provided by the automated victim notification system instead of by mail. 37 
(NRS 213.10915) Sections 4-7 of this bill remove the requirement for the Division 38 
of Parole and Probation or Department of Corrections, as applicable, to provide 39 
such notices related to residential confinement to victims by mail. Instead, section 40 
2 requires the newly established automated victim notification system to provide 41 
such notices related to residential confinement to victims who are registered with 42 
the new system. 43 
 Existing law authorizes the State Board of Pardons Commissioners to consider 44 
applications for clemency. Existing law requires the Board to provide notice by 45 
mail of a meeting to consider an application for clemency to each victim of a crime 46 
committed by the applicant for clemency. (NRS 213.010) Section 8 of this bill 47 
removes the requirement for the Board to mail notice of the meeting. Instead, 48 
section 2 requires the notice to be provided by the newly established automated 49 
victim notification system. Section 9 of this bill makes a conforming change related 50 
to the provision of notice related to clemency by the newly established automated 51 
victim notification system. 52 
 Existing law requires the State Board of Parole Commissioners to mail a notice 53 
to a victim of crime concerning the date of a parole hearing of a prisoner and the 54 
right of the victim to testify at the hearing, if the victim has requested notification 55 
and provided a mailing address to the Board. (NRS 213.131) However, existing law 56 
provides that if the victim registers with the automated victim notification system 57 
utilized by the Board, such notices related to parole are provided by the automated 58 
victim notification system instead of by mail. (NRS 213.10915) Section 14 of this 59 
bill removes the requirement for the Board to provide the notices related to a parole 60 
hearing by mail. Instead, section 2 requires the newly established automated victim 61 
notification system to provide such notices related to parole to victims of crime 62 
who are registered with the new system. Sections 11-13 and 15 of this bill make 63 
conforming changes related to the provision of notices related to parole through the 64 
newly established automatic victim notification system. Section 10 of this bill 65 
defines the term “automated victim notification system” for the purposes of 66 
sections 11-15. 67 
 Sections 16 and 17 of this bill make conforming changes to reflect: (1) the 68 
removal or repeal of the provisions concerning notice by mail in sections 4-8, 14 69 
and 18; and (2) the provision of notice through the newly established automated 70 
victim notification system under section 2. 71

of such photographs must be included with the information 32 
submitted to the Board at the meeting. A prisoner may not bring a 33

victim of the prisoner who is being considered for parole of the date 7 
of the meeting and of the victim’s rights pursuant to this subsection, 8 
if the victim has requested notification in writing and has provided 9 
his or her current address or if the victim’s current address is 10 
otherwise known by the Board. The victim of a prisoner being 11 
considered for parole may submit documents to the Board and may 12

prisoner must not be considered for parole until the [Board] 14 
automated victim notification system established pursuant to 15 
section 2 of this act has notified any victim of his or her rights 16 
pursuant to this subsection and the victim is given the opportunity to 17 
exercise those rights. [If a current address is not provided to or 18

 9.]  The Board may grant parole without a meeting, pursuant to 34 
NRS 213.1215 or 213.133, but the Board must not deny parole to a 35 
prisoner unless the prisoner has been given reasonable notice of the 36 
meeting and the opportunity to be present at the meeting. If the 37 
Board fails to provide notice of the meeting to the prisoner or to 38 
provide the prisoner with an opportunity to be present and 39 
determines that it may deny parole, the Board may reschedule the 40 
meeting. 41 
 [10.] 8.  During a meeting to consider a prisoner for parole, the 42 
Board shall allow the prisoner: 43

action by victim of crime established by failure of System. 
 1.  There is hereby created in the Office of the Attorney General 
the Victim Information Notification Everyday System, which

Safety and the State Board of Parole Commissioners shall cooperate 
with the Attorney General to establish and maintain the System.

change in the custody status of an offender does not establish a basis 
for any cause of action by the victim or any other party against the 
State, its political subdivisions, or the agencies, boards, 
commissions, departments, officers or employees of the State or its 
political subdivisions.
