Title I of the Justice for All Act also provides grants for state, tribal and local prosecutors' offices, law enforcement agencies, courts, jails, correctional facilities and qualified public or private entities to develop, implement and maintain programs to enforce victims' rights and systems to provide notification of court dates and developments in the criminal proceedings to victims in a timely and efficient manner.  Jurisdictions that have victims' rights laws would qualify for grants under these provisions.  The legislation authorizes $20 million over five years for notifications systems, but does not specifically authorize funding for enforcing victims' rights.
