§ 611A.66 — Law Enforcement Agencies; Duty to Inform Victims of Right to File Claim
Plain-Language Summary
This section requires every law enforcement agency that investigates crimes to tell victims about their right to apply for reparations, including a telephone number and website where they can get an application form. Agencies must also help the reparations board carry out its duties and, within ten days of a request from the board, supply the reports the board asks for. Those reports must be provided even if they would otherwise be confidential, including certain juvenile records, and the data keeps the same confidentiality classification it had with the law enforcement agency.
