Article I, § 13(b) Indiana Constitution - Victim Rights Amendment

13(b) Victims of crime, as defined by law, shall have the right to be treated with fairness, dignity, and respect throughout the criminal justice process; and, as defined by law, to be informed of and present during public hearings and to confer with the prosecution, to the extent that exercising these rights does not infringe upon the constitutional rights of the accused.

[This Amendment to the Indiana Constitution was passed overwhelmingly by both Houses of the 1994 General Assembly (Public Law 177-1994) and the 1995 General Assembly (Public Law 345-1995), before adoption by statewide referendum in the 1996 General Election.]
