CHAPTER 186
H.P. 898 - L.D. 1224

An Act To Increase Requirements for Notification of Release to Victims of Stalkers

Mandate preamble. This measure requires one or more local units of government to expand or modify activities so as to necessitate additional expenditures from local revenues but does not provide funding for at least 90% of those expenditures. Pursuant to the Constitution of Maine, Article IX, Section 21, 2/3 of all of the members elected to each House have determined it necessary to enact this measure.

     Upon complying with subsection 1, a victim of a crime of murder or stalking or of a Class A, Class B or Class C crime for which the defendant is committed to the Department of Corrections or to a county jail, or is placed in institutional confinement under Title 15, section 103 after having been found not criminally responsible by reason of mental disease or defect, or is placed in institutional confinement under Title 15, section 101-B after having been found incompetent to stand trial, must receive notice of the defendant's unconditional release and discharge from institutional confinement upon the expiration of the sentence or upon discharge under Title 15, section 104-A and must receive notice of any conditional release of the defendant from institutional confinement, including probation, parole, furlough, work release, intensive supervision, supervised community confinement, home release monitoring or similar program or release under Title 15, section 104-A.
