It will be up to voters this November whether to adopt a victims’ rights constitutional amendment, thanks to legislation signed by Gov. Nathan Deal Tuesday.

If voters approve it, “Marsy’s Law for Georgia” will create constitutional rights for crime victims. The measure is part of a national movement to allow information and access to court appearances for victims and their families. It was named for Marsy Nicholas, a University of California student who was stalked and murdered by her ex-boyfriend in 1989, according to the Marsy’s Law website. A few days later, after visiting her grave, her parents were confronted by her killer in the neighborhood grocery story, not knowing he had been released on bond.
