State claims: California Victim Compensation Board.

Existing law requires the California Victim Compensation Board, in cases in which evidence shows that a crime with which a claimant was charged was either not committed at all, or not committed by the claimant, to report the facts of the case and its conclusions to the Legislature with a recommendation that the Legislature make an appropriation for the purpose of indemnifying the claimant. This bill would appropriate $1,165,920 from the General Fund to the executive officer of the board for payment of the claim for a specified individual. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
