Text

5. (a) Before the department may assign an
offender to a minimum security classification and place the offender in
a community transition program, the department shall notify:
(1) the offender and any victim of the offender's crime of the right
to submit a written statement regarding the offender's assignment
to the community transition program; and

objecting to the offender's placement in a community transition
program;
to each court that sentenced the offender to a period of imprisonment
that the offender is actively serving. If the name or address of a victim
of the offender's crime changes after the offender is sentenced for the
offense, and the offender's sentence may result in the offender's
assignment to the community transition program, the victim is
responsible for notifying the department of the name or address change.
(b) An offender or a victim of the offender's crime who wishes to
submit a written statement under subsection (a)(1) must submit the
statement to each court and the department not later than ten (10)
working days after receiving notice from the department under
subsection (a).
(c) An offender's written statement objecting to the offender's
placement in a community transition program under subsection (a)(2)
must be submitted to each court and the department:
(1) not later than ten (10) working days after receiving notice
from the department under subsection (a); or
(2) before the offender is transported under section 7 of this
chapter;
whichever occurs first.
