1. The office of the attorney general shall maintain a statewide automated victim
information and notification system that must:
a. Permit a victim to register or update the victim's registration information for the
system by calling a toll-free telephone number or accessing a public website.
b. Notify a registered victim by telephone, mail, text message, or electronic mail in
accordance with this chapter.
c. Notify a registered victim by telephone, mail, text message, or electronic mail
when the offender has a scheduled court proceeding, a parole review, or a
change in the status of the offender's parole or probation status, including a
change in the offender's address.
d. Notify a registered victim by telephone, mail, text message, or electronic mail
when a protective order requested by the victim has been served upon the
respondent.
e. Permit a victim to receive a status report for an offender under the supervision or
in the custody of the department of corrections and rehabilitation or other
correctional facility by calling the system on a toll-free telephone number or by
accessing the system through a public website.
2. The provision of offender and case data on a timely basis to the automated victim
information and notification system satisfies any obligation under this chapter to notify
a registered victim of an offender's custody and the status of the offender's scheduled
court proceedings.
3. The user agency shall ensure that an offender's information contained in the system is
updated to timely notify a victim that an offender has been released or discharged or
has escaped. The failure of the system to provide notice to the victim does not
establish a cause of action by the victim against the state or any custodial authority.
4. All affected entities, including custodial authorities, prosecuting attorneys, law
enforcement agencies, courts, the attorney general's office, and the parole clerk, shall
cooperate with the system operator in establishing and maintaining the statewide
automated victim information and notification system.
