1.

5. To the extent of available funding, each sheriff and chief of police, the Department of Corrections, the Department of Public Safety and the State Board of Parole Commissioners shall cooperate with the Attorney General to establish and maintain the System.
6. The failure of the System to notify a victim of a crime of a change in the custody status of an offender does not establish a basis for any cause of action by the victim or any other party against the State, its political subdivisions, or the agencies, boards, commissions, departments, officers or employees of the State or its political subdivisions.
7. As used in this section:
(a) "Custody status" means the transfer of the custody of an offender or the release or escape from custody of an offender.
