Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-
thirds of each House concurring therein), That the fol-
lowing article is proposed as an amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all
intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when
ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several
States, and which shall take effect on the 180th day after
ratification of this article:
•HJ 88 IH
‘‘ARTICLE —
‘‘SECTION 1. The rights of victims of violent crime,
being capable of protection without denying the constitu-
tional rights of those accused of victimizing them, are
hereby established and shall not be denied by any State
or the United States and may be restricted only as pro-
vided in this article.
‘‘SECTION 2. A victim of violent crime shall have the
right to reasonable and timely notice of any public pro-
ceeding involving the crime and of any release or escape
of the accused; the rights not to be excluded from such
public proceeding and reasonably to be heard at public re-
lease, plea, sentencing, reprieve, and pardon proceedings;
and the right to adjudicative decisions that duly consider
the victim’s safety, interest in avoiding unreasonable
delay, and just and timely claims to restitution from the
offender. These rights shall not be restricted except when
and to the degree dictated by a substantial interest in pub-
lic safety or the administration of criminal justice, or by
compelling necessity.
‘‘SECTION 3. Nothing in this article shall be con-
strued to provide grounds for a new trial or to authorize
any claim for damages. Only the victim or the victim’s
lawful representative may assert the rights established by
•HJ 88 IH
this article, and no person accused of the crime may obtain
any form of relief hereunder.
‘‘SECTION 4. Congress shall have power to enforce
by appropriate legislation the provisions of this article.
Nothing in this article shall affect the President’s author-
ity to grant reprieves or pardons.
‘‘SECTION 5. This article shall be inoperative unless
it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Con-
stitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several
States within seven years from the date of its submission
to the States by the Congress.’’.
