Certifying officials can issue certifications for direct, indirect, and bystander or witness victims. The certification process is confidential, and the victim's immigration status is not disclosed unless required by law. Certifying entities must report annually to the attorney general on certification requests. The attorney general then compiles a comprehensive report and submits it to the speaker of the assembly.
