Bills For Crime Victims Gather Support
by Taylor Walker from Witness LA
"On Friday, April 29, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced his support for seven bills meant to provide protection and care to domestic violence survivors and others impacted by violence. One of those bills, SB 1268, by Senator Anna Caballero (D-Merced), would ensure that, in the case of a death investigation involving a minor child, law enforcement would be required to provide parents with certain timely information about the investigation. Specifically, the investigating law enforcement agency would have to provide parents with the case number, identify the primary law enforcement contact for the investigation, a list of personal effects found with the victim, and information regarding the status of the case (at the law enforcement agency’s discretion)."
