SB 7 allows government agencies to be recognized as victims in criminal cases and receive restitution from offenders, rather than limiting restitution only to individual people. This expands who can be compensated when a crime causes financial harm, so that agencies harmed by crimes like theft of public property can recover their losses directly through the criminal justice system.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
