Victims' Bill of Rights

The 34-page bipartisan initiative would modernize the Victim’s Bill of Rights, first enacted in 1992, through various technical changes and the addition of new rights and reporting requirements.

VBR Committee Chair State Sen. Bryan Townsend says multiple pieces of legislation are in the works that would focus largely on technical corrections and reorganization to create a more cohesive Victims’ Bill of Rights.

Delaware’s Victims’ Bill of Rights has not received a comprehensive review since it was enacted in 1992, and the VBR Committee has been working to provide an updated list of rights for those affected by certain crimes.
