Notice requirement to crime victims when an offender files an apology

This bill requires correctional authorities to notify crime victims when an offender submits a letter of apology, but only if the victim has previously requested this notification. Victims must submit a written or electronic request to the correctional facility or the Department of Corrections to be included in this notification process. Authorities must make a "good faith effort" to notify these victims within 90 days of the apology being filed. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to add this requirement to existing victim notification procedures, directly affecting victims who proactively opt-in and correctional facilities handling offender correspondence. It does not change the content of apologies or create new victim rights.
