New deadlines for setting criminal restitution

Colorado changes deadlines for setting restitution—the money defendants owe victims for their losses. Prosecutors must provide victim and loss details before conviction, using victim statements or other sources. If those details are unavailable, prosecutors must submit them within 63 days after conviction. Courts can extend that deadline for unusual circumstances affecting the prosecutor’s ability to determine restitution. Courts must set the amount within 63 days after conviction or the prosecutor’s submission, whichever is later. This replaces a 91-day deadline and changes when the clock starts; courts can extend their deadline for good cause. The rules apply to defendants sentenced on or after the law’s effective date, which the provided text does not specify. The law does not change the duty to pay restitution or set payment amounts or schedules.
