MS Crime Victims' Bill of Rights; revise to expand for sexual assault victims.

HB 863 expands rights for sexual assault victims in Mississippi by requiring law enforcement to proactively inform them about DNA evidence from their cases. Specifically, it mandates that agencies notify victims within 7 days if DNA profiles were obtained, entered into the state DNA database (CODIS), or matched to known profiles - without compromising ongoing investigations. The bill also requires 60 days' written notice before destroying evidence in unsolved cases, with evidence preserved for 20 years (or until the victim turns 40 if they were minors at the time of the assault). Victims can designate advocates to receive this information, and defendants cannot use non-compliance as grounds to overturn convictions; the sole remedy for violations is a writ of mandamus.
