Marsy's Law is a constitutional amendment that would provide a "Bill of Rights" to crime victims in the state.

To
Senate Bill 15 proposes amending the state constitution to give crime victims certain rights, including notification of court proceedings related to their case.
In 2018, 63% of Kentucky voters approved the law in a ballot measure, but the Kentucky Supreme Court deemed the question on the ballot was too vague.
The constitutional amendment would ensure crime victims know about and are present in court proceedings, preserving their rights in the state constitution.
