SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 358 appropriates $438 thousand from the general fund to the Crime Victims Repara-
tion Commission for the purpose of funding services to family and friends of homicide victims.
The bill itemizes the appropriation for providing the services.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of $438 thousand contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general
fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of fiscal year 2006 shall
revert to the general fund.
ADMINISTRATIVE IMPLICATIONS
CVRC reports they will need to develop a Request for Proposal as required by the state procure-
ment code, and performance measures and standards for the program. CVRC states they would
require a 5 percent administrative cost to effectively develop and monitor the program.
