SB 141 - Under current law, the Crime Victims' Compensation fund can pay eligible victims up to $200 per week for the loss of employment and for injury or death. This act raises that amount to $400 per week. In addition, this act provides that the Department of Public Safety may negotiate directly with providers of medical care and other services on behalf of the victim with respect to the costs of the medical or services. This act is similar to HB 209 (2015) and identical to a provision of SCS/HCS/HB 807 (2015) and SB 792 (2014). MEGHAN LUECKE
