summary

This amendment deletes language referencing the purposes of the new Elder Victims Restitution Fund created in the bill to avoid inconsistencies in terms and purposes.

This amendment strikes out the section amending the provision of existing law that prohibits killers from benefiting from their crimes against their victims. Instead, this amendment adds a new section to the Probate Code that prohibits a person convicted of any crime of which the decedent was a victim from benefiting to the extent the convicted person owes restitution to the decedent.

This amendment removes the provision of the bill that authorizes the Elder Victims Restitution Fund to accept private donations, federal funds and state funds designated by law.
