611A.0385 SENTENCING; IMPLEMENTATION OF RIGHT TO NOTICE OF
OFFENDER RELEASE AND EXPUNGEMENT.
At the time of sentencing or the disposition hearing in a case in which there is an identifiable
victim, the court or its designee shall make reasonable good faith efforts to inform each affected
victim of the offender notice of release and notice of expungement provisions of section 611A.06.
If the victim is a minor, the court or its designee shall, if appropriate, also make reasonable
good faith efforts to inform the victim's parent or guardian of the right to notice of release and
notice of expungement. The state court administrator, in consultation with the commissioner of
corrections and the prosecuting authorities, shall prepare a form that outlines the notice of release
and notice of expungement provisions under section 611A.06 and describes how a victim should
complete and submit a request to the commissioner of corrections or other custodial authority
to be informed of an offender's release or submit a request to the prosecuting authorities to be
informed of an offender's petition for expungement. The state court administrator shall make these
forms available to court administrators who shall assist the court in disseminating right to notice
of offender release and notice of expungement information to victims.
