SUMMARY

This bill amends existing state laws to enable the Department of Corrections to more efficiently collect and disburse court- ordered restitution to crime victims.

The bill also reduces the amount of interest going to the General Fund, therefore reducing General Fund revenue by $50,000 each fiscal year.
