SB 137 Criminal Injuries Compensation Fund.

Introduced by: Kenneth W. Stolle | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Criminal Injuries Compensation Fund. Allows Virginia residents to access the Fund if victimized while traveling in another country or in a territory. The bill provides that the parent of a child victim may apply for compensation on behalf of the child, so the parent can get lost wages for medical and legal appointments, etc. The bill also allows the person who paid for the victim’s funeral to be reimbursed rather than limiting funeral reimbursement to certain relatives. The top limit award for weekly wages is increased from $200 to $600 and for moving expenses is increased from $500 to $1,000. Attorneys for the Commonwealth are directed to request restitution when an award has been made from the Fund, so that the Fund can be reimbursed.
