HB 2507 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to compensation for victims of crime

HB 2507 modifies the definitions used in Missouri's crime victim compensation program to clarify who qualifies for financial assistance. The bill updates terms such as "victim," "dependent," and "crime" to include specific categories like sexual assault relatives and terrorism victims, while explicitly excluding offenders and their accomplices from receiving funds. It also refines the scope of covered offenses to include driving while intoxicated, vehicular manslaughter, and hit-and-run incidents, provided they result in injury. These changes aim to ensure that the state's compensation resources are distributed to the intended survivors and families of crime victims.
