Modifies provisions relating to restitution for certain offenders
This bill requires courts to order restitution payments from individuals convicted of specific offenses involving obscene or pornographic material. It mandates that offenders pay at least $3,000 for each image of a victim and $5,000 for each charged offense, regardless of whether they receive prison time or probation. Victims can also request additional funds to cover medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and the value of their labor. The law defines an "identifiable victim" as someone specifically identified in the case or whose image appears in the prohibited material.
