2007 House Bill 5355 ↩

House Roll Call 996: Passed

To allow money in the state victims rights fund to be used to pay for the state sex offender registry, “Amber alert” programs, lie detector tests and forensic scientist expert witness testimony. Essentially, the bill continues a practice of using any extra money in this fund to pay for programs otherwise funded by the state general fund. Money in this fund comes from fees assessed against convicted criminal defendants.
