Bill Summary · HB 3430

Overview: HB 3430, "Relating to the notification of the parole hearing and the victim's right to be heard allowing other notified persons listed on the parole hearing form to be allowed to submit not only written statements, but also speak at the parole board hearings", has been introduced to the House Judiciary committee on February 26, 2025.

Purpose and Intent: The bill aims to expand the rights of victims and other notified persons in parole hearings. Currently, victims and other listed persons can only submit written statements, but this bill would allow them to also speak directly at the parole board hearings.

Key Provisions:
- Allows victims and other notified persons listed on the parole hearing form to speak at the parole board hearings, in addition to submitting written statements
- Requires the parole board to notify victims and other listed persons of their right to speak at the hearings

Affected Parties and Impacts: Victims of crimes and other persons notified of parole hearings would be able to have a greater voice in the parole process. This could provide them with a stronger sense of involvement and potentially impact parole board decisions.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been introduced in the House and referred to the Judiciary committee. If passed by the committee, it would then move to a full House vote before potentially advancing to the Senate.
