The Crime Victims Compensation Act
Idaho · Worker’S Compensation and Related Laws — Industrial Commission · §§ 72-1001 to 72-1026 · 26 sections
Overview
The act creates a publicly administered program that compensates victims of criminally injurious conduct, and the survivors of victims who are killed, for pecuniary losses such as health care costs arising from the offense. It defines the qualifying conduct and eligibility, sets a deadline for filing an application and conditions compensation on the offense having been reported to law enforcement, and empowers the administering authority to investigate claims, order examinations, hold hearings, and approve, reduce, or deny awards, with emergency awards available before a claim is fully resolved and reconsideration available afterward. It also caps and allocates compensation, governs how awards are paid out and adjusted over time, provides for subrogation and shields awards from execution and assignment, and requires public notice of the program along with regular reporting on its operation.
