AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

Utah law already gives crime victims the right to file complaints when they believe those rights have been violated, but this bill overhauls how that process works. Rather than having each local victim rights committee receive and screen complaints directly, the bill creates a central coordinator — designated by the executive director of the State Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice — who receives all complaints first, notifies victims within 30 days, screens out complaints that don't meet basic requirements or repeat prior complaints, and then routes valid complaints to the appropriate committee. The bill also clarifies what happens after a committee makes a finding: both the victim and the person accused of the violation receive written notification of the outcome within 30 days, and law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, the Department of Corrections, and similar agencies must have written policies for handling victim rights complaints and must share those policies with the coordinator upon request.
