Damages are awarded to victims for loss of earnings, essential personal property loss, and medical and counseling expenses incurred. CVB also provides grants to local agencies, which assist witnesses and victims, and serves as the State's advocate for crime victims rights, needs, and interests. The Crime Victims Board is in the Public Protection and General Government appropriation bill. The Executive recommends an All Funds appropriation of $66,997,000, an increase of $6,280,085 from State Fiscal Year 2001-02. State Operations During State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2002-03, $5,600,000 in an All Funds appropriation is proposed to support agency operations. The Executive recommends a General Fund State Operations appropriation of $3,299,000, a decrease of $91,115, which is attributable to a hiring freeze, the reduction of two positions through attrition in SFY 2002-03 and the transfer of certain administrative functions to the Division of Criminal Justice Services. Aid to Localities The Executive recommends an overall Aid to Localities appropriation of $61,397,000, an increase of $6,308,000. This increase is attributable to a $2,308,300 increase in Federal Special Revenue Funds as well as a $4,000,000 increase in State Special Revenue Funds from fines levied against offenders. These funds will support compensation payments to victims and local grants to programs assisting victims with treatment and other services. |
