SB 127 is designed to protect the rights of victims in criminal cases by amending ยง17-17-15 of the O.C.G.A., related to the failure to provide notice not rendering responsible person liable or comprising a basis for error. The bill would allow victims to assert their rights by allowing them to file a motion to the court asking for a hearing to call attention on how their rights may have been violated due to a lack of proper notice during a criminal proceeding. |
