Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
7 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 4 mixed.
Higher and longer restitution bills
Beginning November 1, 2025, courts can order restitution up to three times a victim’s money loss. Courts can add 12% interest per year until it is fully paid. Restitution, fines, and fees stay owed until paid in full and are not wiped out in bankruptcy. Judges must set restitution even if the offender has little money.
Tougher enforcement for unpaid restitution
Beginning November 1, 2025, if restitution is not paid, the Department of Corrections sends the case to the district attorney, who files to revoke. Courts can use contempt (jail or fines), enter a civil judgment, or revoke a suspended or community sentence. Not paying restitution counts as a technical probation violation. A person can ask the judge to change the amount or terms for proven hardship.
Victims paid before fines and agencies
Beginning November 1, 2025, court staff must ask if restitution is owed before taking money for fines or fees. Restitution gets paid first, before fines, fees, or other court costs. When several people or agencies are owed, victims are paid first and government reimbursements come next. District attorneys must give victims a standard restitution form and help them file it.
Annual $1,000 fee for panel providers
Beginning November 1, 2025, corporate victims impact panel providers must register each year, carry liability insurance, and file financial records. They must pay a $1,000 annual registration fee to the District Attorneys Council.
Community service credit and $1 fee
Beginning November 1, 2025, judges can give $5 credit per day of ordered community service toward restitution. If you do not complete required community service, the judge can jail you up to five days for each failure. If the district attorney handles restitution payments, they may charge $1 per payment from the defendant.
Faster structured probation sanctions
Beginning November 1, 2025, the Department of Corrections uses a set matrix for technical violations and sanctions. Officers must start a response within four working days. Offenders get written notice and recorded hearings by a separate chain of command. Sanctions can include short jail, treatment, community service, fines, ignition interlock, or up to six months in an intermediate facility (one time).
Expanded DNA testing and $15 fee
Beginning November 1, 2025, people convicted of felonies that require sex‑offender registration, and some misdemeanor arrests if funds allow, must provide DNA. Probationers must submit within 30 days of sentencing. Collectors must mail samples to the state lab within 10 days. If you are not received at the Lexington center, you pay a $15 collection fee.
