Provides that a crime victim shall sign an acknowledgement that he or she has been furnished by the appropriate authority with a statement of the rights of crime victims and an explanation of those rights as set forth in the Illinois Constitution and the Act. Provides that the authority shall furnish a carbon copy of the acknowledgement to the crime victim and shall retain the original for its records.
