Victim notification extension to order for protection and harassment restraining order violations not prosecuted
This bill requires prosecutors to notify victims when they decline to prosecute violations of orders for protection or harassment restraining orders. It applies directly to victims of domestic abuse, harassment, or stalking who have protection orders violated but face no criminal charges. The key mechanism mandates prosecutors to make "reasonable efforts" to contact victims via phone first, then email or mail, and to explain dismissal reasons (e.g., witness unavailability). The bill updates existing notification rules under Minnesota Statutes to ensure victims receive clear information about their case status without prosecution.
