Title
Victims' Compensation Act, to ensure that victims obtain a pro-rata share of court-ordered restitution collected before other distributions are made, Sec. 12-17-225.4 am'd.
Description

Under current law, a collection fee is added to the total amount of funds due for court-ordered restitution after a matter has been transferred to the district attorney for collection purposes. The total amount of the collection fee is distributed to the district attorney and the circuit clerk before any other distributions are made.

This bill would provide for specific distribution of the total amount collected by the district attorney for court-ordered restitution and would ensure that victims obtain a pro-rata share of any collections.
