Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) When a statute requires that the county or district attorney shall give written notice at least 30 days prior to the release of the juvenile offender, such notice shall be given to:

(1) Any victim of the juvenile offender's crime who is alive and whose address is known to the court or, if the victim is deceased, to the victim's family if the family's address is known to the court;

(2) the local law enforcement agency; and

(3) the school district in which the juvenile offender will be residing if the juvenile is still required to attend school.

(b) Failure to notify pursuant to this section shall not be a reason to postpone a release. Nothing in this section shall create a cause of action against the state or county of an employee of the state or county acting within the scope of the employee's employment as a result of the failure to notify pursuant to this section.
