Qué contiene
Resumen con IA Currently, victims cannot ask for criminal restitution for money that an insurance company has already paid out. This bill changes that rule so victims can seek restitution for all financial losses, even if they received insurance money. This change affects victims of crimes who are trying to recover costs like counseling or wrongful death expenses. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1
Lea la explicación oficial (en inglés)
This bill relates to criminal restitution including pecuniary damages. Under current law, “pecuniary damages” is defined as all damages to the extent not paid by an insurer on an insurance claim by the victim, which a victim could recover against the offender in a civil action arising out of the same facts or event, except punitive damages and damages for pain, suffering, mental anguish, and loss of consortium. Without limitation, “pecuniary damages” includes damages for wrongful death and expenses incurred for psychiatric or psychological services or counseling or other counseling for the victim which became necessary as a direct result of the criminal activity. The bill removes from the definition of “pecuniary damages” the provision excluding the amount paid by an insurer on an insurance claim by the victim.
