915.45 Notice to victims of discharge of persons committed.
1. In addition to any other information required to be released under chapter 229A, prior to the discharge of a person committed under chapter 229A, the director of human services shall give written notice of the person’s discharge to any living victim of the person’s activities or crime whose address is known to the director or, if the victim is deceased, to the victim’s family, if the family’s address is known. Failure to notify shall not be a reason for postponement of discharge. Nothing in this section shall create a cause of action against the state or an employee of the state acting within the scope of the employee’s employment as a result of the failure to notify pursuant to this action.
2. The notification required pursuant to this section may occur through the automated victim notification system referred to in section 915.10A to the extent such information is available for dissemination through the system.
