Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
justice
Under current law, if a court imposes a sentence or places a person on probation following a conviction for a crime, the court must impose a crime victim and witness assistance surcharge of $67 for each misdemeanor conviction and $92 for each felony conviction. Then the clerk of court must allocate specified portions of the collected surcharge in a specified order to appropriations that fund services for the rights of crime victims and witnesses and fund grants for sexual assault victim services. This bill allocates the entire surcharge to fund services for the rights of crime victims and witnesses and creates a general purpose revenue appropriation to fund grants for sexual assault victim services.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
