2014 House Bill 5263 ↩

Senate Roll Call 266: Passed

To allow the parent or guardian of a crime victim who was less than 18 years when the crime was committed to make a "victim impact statement" at specified points of the trial and sentencing, even though the victim has reached the age of majority (turned 18) by that time. This would not apply if the parent or guardian is the defendant or is incarcerated. Under current law, only parents or guardians of minors can make this statement.
