Summary

(1) Existing law provides for the compensation of victims and derivative victims of specified types of crimes by the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board from the Restitution Fund, a continuously appropriated fund, for specified losses suffered as a result of those crimes. Existing law requires the board to be subrogated against the perpetrator of the crime to the rights of a recipient to the extent of any compensation granted. Existing law authorizes a court to allow a victim, or others related to the victim, as specified, to submit a statement to the court concerning the crime, the person responsible, and the need for restitution. This bill would allow a representative of the board to provide the probation department, district attorney, and court with information relevant to the board's losses prior to the imposition of a sentence, as provided. (2) Existing law requires that when a deceased person has an heir who is confined in a correctional facility, the estate attorney or other specified person give the director of the board notice of the decedent's death within 90 days of the death and include specified information about the incarcerated heir. Existing law requires the general personal representative or the estate attorney of a decedent's estate to provide notices of the decedent's death to the director of the board, no later than 90 days after the date letters of administration are first issued if the representative or attorney knows or has reason to believe that an heir is incarcerated in a prison, jail, or other specified state or local correctional facility. This bill would expand these provisions to apply to a beneficiary, as well as an heir, who is confined or has been confined. This bill would also require a representative or attorney to give notice only when he or she knows that an heir is incarcerated. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes.
