Assembly Bill 60, a bill signed into law by the California Legislature in 2023, is codified within the Welfare and Institutions Code Section 742 and Penal Code Sections 679.02 and 679.027. This new law enhances victims' rights in California by mandating that victims be informed about restorative justice options, including community-based restorative justice diversion programs. Advocates and prosecutors should recognize that this new law aims to introduce victims to the benefits of restorative justice, allowing them to make informed choices about the best path forward.

Explore the new law's implications for your organization or justice agency, focusing on strategies for effective implementation at the pre-charge or pre-adjudication level. Identify potential challenges and practical steps to address them while discovering resources and best practices for a smooth adaptation. Understanding this law will enhance adherence and improve your agency's effectiveness in the justice system and its impact on the community.
