Modifies provisions relating to the "Crime Victims' Compensation Fund" and establishes the "Victims of Domestic Violence Fund"
HB 2209 modifies the Crime Victims' Compensation Fund by establishing a new Victims of Domestic Violence Fund and creating a funding mechanism based on court surcharges. The bill requires courts to collect specific fees from criminal defendants, with the revenue split between the existing crime victims' fund and the new domestic violence fund. Additionally, a portion of these funds is designated to support state forensic laboratories, while the remaining balance covers administrative costs for victim services. The legislation also mandates monthly reporting of fund balances and requires that any unspent money remain in the dedicated funds rather than being transferred to the state's general revenue.
