AB 702 California Assembly · 2019-2020 Regular Session

Counsel representing indigent defendants: payment.

Summary

Existing law generally provides for the compensation of victims and derivative victims of specified types of crimes by the California Victim Compensation Board from the Restitution Fund, a continuously appropriated fund, for specified losses suffered as a result of those crimes. Existing law sets forth eligibility requirements and limits on the amount of compensation the board may award, and requires the application for compensation to be verified under penalty of perjury. This bill would require the board to provide reimbursement from the fund to any exonerated individual, as defined, for mental health services, as specified. By expanding the authorizations for use of moneys in the continuously appropriated Restitution Fund, this bill would make an appropriation.
