In Committee
Summary
Amends the Crime Victims Compensation Act. Removes the requirements to report the crime within 72 hours of its occurrence or within 7 days for other specified crimes. Removes language that requires certification from a mental health provider to come from a provider who has not before and will not again provide care to the victim or applicant. Provides that confidentiality is not waived between a health care provider and the victim or applicant if a mental health provider, medical provider, or other third party provides documentation of the crime for the purposes of compensation eligibility. Requires the Attorney General to make and publish on its website the form the mental health provider must use to certify the evaluation of the victim or applicant. Requires the Comptroller to issue payment within 2 business days of approval of an emergency award by the Court of Claims. Provides that emergency awards may be issued to the applicant for the purpose of paying funeral and burial expenses directly to a funeral home for expenses that have been incurred or that the applicant has been quoted and for relocation expenses incurred or due to be incurred by an applicant. Provides that if the amount of emergency compensation exceeds the actual amount the applicant incurs, the difference shall be repaid to the State. Makes other changes.
