The State's role
in restitution is generally serving as a conduit, collecting restitution
payments from convicted persons and distributing them to victims or other
authorized claimants. This bill may reduce the amount of restitution paid by
offenders, reducing the amount collected by the State and the amount
distributed by the State. |
