HB 863 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the "Crime Victims' Compensation Fund" and establishes the "Victims of Domestic Violence Fund"

HB 863 modifies court fees to fund two victim support programs. It adds a $17.50 fee to all criminal cases (excluding dismissed cases) and a $7.50 fee for certain juvenile cases, with funds collected by court clerks. These fees partially fund state forensic labs ($250,000 annually) and split remaining money equally between the existing Crime Victims' Compensation Fund and a new Victims of Domestic Violence Fund. The bill ensures funds directly support services for crime victims and domestic violence survivors through established state programs, with strict reporting and audit requirements for transparency.
