Office of Victim Services regulations

15 Jul 2010

This is a notice to all visitors to the OVS website that our current regulations are posted here: http://www.cvb.state.ny.us/LegalInformation/Regulations.aspx . These were implemented as an emergency rule and are effective as of 6/23/10.

Previous regulations, Part 525 of Title 9 NYCRR, outlined the Practice and Procedure Before the Board. As the Board no longer exists pursuant to Chapter 56 of the Laws of 2010, a new Part 525 of Title 9 NYCRR outlines the Practice and Procedure Before the Office of Victim Services. As you will see, this new Part retains much of the former Board’s regulatory structure, but is altered to reflect the elimination of the Board and any new requirements created by Chapter 56. This new Part also reorganizes certain provisions of the former Board’s regulatory structure and eliminates confusing language or provisions that were either redundant or contrary to both the new and unchanged provisions of our statute.
