BILL NUMBER: AB 2491 CHAPTERED 09/30/00 CHAPTER 1016 FILED WITH SECRETARY OF STATE SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 PASSED THE ASSEMBLY AUGUST 31, 2000 PASSED THE SENATE AUGUST 30, 2000 AMENDED IN SENATE AUGUST 25, 2000 AMENDED IN SENATE AUGUST 7, 2000 AMENDED IN SENATE JUNE 19, 2000 AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY MAY 26, 2000 AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY APRIL 11, 2000 AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY MARCH 27, 2000 INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Jackson (Principal coauthor: Senator Chesbro) FEBRUARY 24, 2000 An act to amend Sections 13900, 13901, 13961.1, and 13968.5 of, to amend and repeal Section 13965 of, to add Section 13965.1 to, and to add and repeal Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 13974.5) of Part 4 of Division 3 of Title 2 of, the Government Code, to amend Sections 1202.4, 1203.1k, and 1203.3 of the Penal Code, and to amend Section 730.6 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to victims of crime, and making an appropriation therefor. (Approved by Governor September 29, 2000. Filed with Secretary of State September 30, 2000.) I am reducing the appropriation from the Restitution Fund in Section 13 of Assembly Bill No. 2491 from $2.45 million to $1 million to the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board, formerly known as the Board of Control, to enter into an interagency agreement with the University of California, San Francisco, to establish a victims recovery center at San Francisco General Hospital. This will allow for an evaluation of the victims recovery center prior to the provision of additional resources to fully fund this four year pilot project. I am very supportive of the expansion of benefits to victims of crime pursuant to the remaining provisions of this bill. This bill will provide approximately $9 million of payments to victims on an annual basis. GRAY DAVIS, Governor LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 2491, Jackson. Victims of crimes: indemnification. (1) Existing law establishes the State Board of Control in state government, with specified members and duties that include, among other things, the indemnification of victims of crime and payment of claims against the state. This bill would rename the State Board of Control the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board, and would specify that any reference in statute or regulation to the State Board of Control shall be construed to refer to the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board. (2) Existing law authorizes the board to delegate authority to designated staff persons and local victim witness centers, to grant and disburse emergency awards to victims or derivative victims of crimes who meet specified criteria. This bill instead would authorize the board to delegate this authority to designated staff persons and local agencies, including, but not limited to, district attorneys, probation departments, and local victim witness centers. (3) Existing law requires that an application for an emergency award notify the applicant that he or she must either complete a regular application for assistance within one year of the date of the crime or certify that he or she does not anticipate claiming reimbursements in addition to those claimed in the application for an emergency award. If an applicant certifies that no expenses will be claimed beyond those claimed in the emergency award, the board is required to subsequently verify the emergency award application upon receipt of information the board may require, including statements signed by the applicant authorizing release of information to the board necessary for the verification, and authorizing a lien in favor of the board against any recovery by the applicant as a result of any injury to the victim. This bill would repeal the option of certification by an applicant that he or she does not anticipate claiming additional reimbursements. (4) Existing law prescribes criteria for the board to make cash payments payable from the Restitution Fund, a continuously appropriated fund, in prescribed amounts to victims or derivative victims for specified losses or expenses, including loss of wages or support. This bill would recast the criteria for payments relating to loss of wages and support and would increase the maximum amount of certain cash payments and of total awards to victims, as specified. By providing for increased payments from a continuously appropriated fund, this bill would make an appropriation. (5) Existing law, until January 1, 2004, requires the board to conduct a pilot program to provide reimbursement for grief, mourning, and bereavement services provided by a person certified as a child life specialist, and to report to the Legislature by January 31, 2003, on this pilot program. This bill would delete an incorrect code reference and add references to specified provisions of law that provide bases for determining whether a child life specialist would be disqualified from being employed by a school district. (6) Existing law requires a court to order restitution in criminal and juvenile court cases, as specified, in an amount sufficient to reimburse the victim for economic losses, including lost wages, to the extent possible. This bill would specify that lost wages include commissions and base wages, and make conforming changes. (7) This bill would require until January 1, 2005, the board to enter into an interagency agreement with the University of California, San Francisco, upon adoption of a resolution by the Regents of the University of California, and upon appropriation of funds for that purpose, to establish a victims of crime recovery center at the San Francisco General Hospital to demonstrate the effectiveness of providing comprehensive and integrated services to victims of crime, subject to conditions set forth by the board. It would require the board to report to the Legislature on the effectiveness of the center no later than May 1, 2004. The bill would appropriate $2.45 million from the Restitution Fund to the board for the implementation of the interagency agreement. (8) This bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 1202.4 of the Penal Code proposed by SB 1802, that would become operative only if SB 1802 and this bill are both enacted and become effective on or before January 1, 2001, and this bill is enacted last. This bill would also incorporate additional changes in Section 730.6 of the Welfare and Institutions Code proposed by SB 1943, that would become operative only if SB 1943 and this bill are both enacted and become effective on or before January 1, 2001, and this bill is enacted last.

Section 13965 of the Government Code, as amended by Section 1.5 of Chapter 584 of the Statutes of 1999, is amended to read: 13965. (a) If the application for assistance is approved, the board shall determine what type of state assistance will best aid the victim or derivative victim. The board may take any or all of the following actions: (1) Reimburse the following persons for the expense of their outpatient mental health counseling when that mental health counseling is necessary as a direct result of the crime: (A) A victim in an amount not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000).

(D) A derivative victim not eligible for reimbursement pursuant to subparagraph (B) or (C) in an amount not to exceed three thousand dollars ($3,000), provided that mental health counseling of a derivative victim under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 13960 shall be reimbursed only if that counseling is necessary for the treatment of the victim. (E) A victim of a crime committed in violation of subdivision (d) of Section 261.5 of the Penal Code in an amount not to exceed three thousand dollars ($3,000) for mental health counseling expenses only. A derivative victim of a crime committed in violation of subdivision (d) of Section 261.5 of the Penal Code shall not be eligible for reimbursement of mental health counseling expenses. The board may authorize a direct cash payment to a provider of psychological or psychiatric treatment or mental health counseling services, including peer counseling services provided by a rape crisis center as defined by Section 13837 of the Penal Code or to either the victim or the derivative victim, equal to the pecuniary loss attributable to medical or medical-related expenses, including counseling, directly resulting from the injury. Reimbursement on the initial claim for any psychological, psychiatric, or mental health counseling services, including peer counseling services provided by a rape crisis center, shall, if the application has been approved, be paid by the board within 90 days of the date of receipt of the claim for payment, with subsequent payments to be made to the provider within one month of the receipt of a claim for payment. However, the board may not authorize without good cause a direct cash payment to a licensed health care provider or rape crisis center over the objection of the applicant. When a public agency, including a court or district attorney or a police, county child protective services, or other state or local governmental agency, refers a victim of crime to a private nonprofit agency for treatment for that victim, the private nonprofit agency shall be reimbursed for those services at the level of the normal and customary fee charged by the private nonprofit agency to clients with adequate means of payment for its services, except that this reimbursement shall not exceed the maximum reimbursement rates set by the board and may be made only to the extent that the victim otherwise qualifies for services under the victims of crime program and that other reimbursement or direct subsidies are not available to serve the victim. Payments authorized pursuant to this paragraph for peer counseling services provided by a rape crisis center shall not exceed fifteen dollars ($15) for each hour of services provided. Those services shall be limited to individual, in-person counseling on a face-to-face basis for a period not to exceed 10 weeks plus one series of facilitated support group counseling sessions. (2) Authorize a cash payment to the victim or derivative victim equal to the pecuniary loss resulting from loss of wages pursuant to Section 13965.1.

These expenses may include, but need not be limited to, all of the following: (i) Deposits for utilities and telephone service. (ii) Deposits for rental housing, not to exceed the first and last month's rent or two thousand dollars ($2,000), whichever is less.

The procedures may include, but need not be limited to, requiring copies of receipts, lease agreements, or other documents as requested, or developing a method for direct payment to the landlord or vendor. (C) When a relocation payment or reimbursement is provided to a victim of domestic violence, the victim shall agree to not inform the offender of the location of the victim's new residence and to not allow the offender on the premises at any time, or shall agree to seek a restraining order against the offender. (D) The board may authorize a cash payment or reimbursement pursuant to this paragraph to victims of crimes other than domestic violence if the expenses are determined by law enforcement to be necessary for the personal safety of the victim or by a mental health treatment provider to be necessary for the emotional well-being of the victim. (E) The cash payment or reimbursement made under this paragraph shall only be awarded once to any victim, except that the board may, under compelling circumstances, award a second cash payment or reimbursement to the same victim if both of the following conditions are met: (i) The crime or series of crimes occurs more than three years from the date of the crime giving rise to the initial relocation cash payment or reimbursement. (ii) The crime does not involve the same perpetrator. (5) Authorize cash payments to or on behalf of the victim for job retraining or similar employment-oriented rehabilitative services.

Reimbursement shall be made upon verification that the expense is medically necessary. Payment for these purposes shall not exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000), except that the board may award a greater amount when justified by the disability of the victim. (B) The board shall develop procedures to ensure that reimbursement is made only for the purposes of this paragraph. The procedures may include, but need not be limited to, requiring copies of receipts, invoices, estimates, or other documents, or developing a method for direct payment to the vendor.

In cases where the crime involves sexual assault, the provider shall have expertise in the needs of sexual assault victims. In cases where the crime involves child abuse or molestation, the provider shall have expertise in the needs of victims of child abuse or molestation, as appropriate. When a reevaluation is obtained, payments shall not be discontinued prior to completion of the reevaluation. (9) When a victim dies as a direct result of a crime, the board may reimburse any individual who voluntarily, and without anticipation of personal gain, pays or assumes the obligation to pay, the medical or burial expenses incurred as a direct result of the crime for the medical or burial expenses incurred in an amount not to exceed the rates or limitations established by the board. (10) The total award to or on behalf of the victim or a derivative victim shall not exceed thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000), and may be increased only in accordance with this section. (11) If the victim requests that the board give priority to reimbursement of loss of wages, the board shall not pay medical expenses or mental health counseling expenses except upon the request of the victim or after determining that payment of these expenses will not decrease the funds available to the victim for payment of loss of wages. (12) The board may authorize a direct cash payment to a provider of services that are reimbursable pursuant to this article. However, the board may not, without good cause, authorize a direct cash payment to a provider over the objection of the victim or applicant. (b) Assistance granted pursuant to this article shall not disqualify an otherwise eligible victim or derivative victim from participation in any other public assistance program. (c) Cash payments made pursuant to this article may be on a one-time or periodic basis. If periodic, the board may increase, reduce, or terminate the amount of assistance according to the victim' s or derivative victim's need, subject to the maximum limits provided in this section. (d) The board shall pay attorney's fees representing the reasonable value of legal services rendered to the applicant, in an amount equal to 10 percent of the amount of the award, or five hundred dollars ($500), whichever is less for each victim and each derivative victim.

(g) Notwithstanding subdivisions (a) and (f), a victim injured between January 1, 1985, and December 31, 1985, shall be entitled to receive a maximum cash payment of forty-six thousand dollars ($46,000) if federal funds for these increases are available, but only for costs in excess of limitations provided for in subdivision (a) which are attributable to medical or medical-related expenses, except for psychological or psychiatric treatment, or mental health counseling services. (h) Notwithstanding any conflicting provision of this chapter, the board may make additional payments for purposes described in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) to any victim who filed an application with the board on or after December 1, 1982, who was a victim of a crime involving sexual assault, and who is a minor at the time the additional payments pursuant to this subdivision are made. The payments authorized by this subdivision shall not exceed the limits imposed by subdivisions (a) and (j). (i) Reimbursement for any medical or medical-related services shall, if the victim's application has been approved, be paid by the board within an average of 90 days from receipt of the claim for payment. Payments to a medical or mental health provider under this subdivision or paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) shall not be discontinued prior to completion of any reevaluation. Whether or not a reevaluation is obtained, if the board determines that payments to a provider shall be discontinued, the board shall notify the provider of their discontinuance within 30 days of its determination. (j) (1) The board may establish maximum rates and service limitations for reimbursement of medical and medical-related expenses, including counseling expenses, for which restitution is requested pursuant to this section.

An informational copy of the maximum rates shall be filed with the Secretary of State upon adoption by the board. A provider who accepts payment from the program for a service shall accept the program's rates as payment in full and shall not accept any payment on account of the service from any other source if the total of payments accepted would exceed the maximum rate set by the board for that service. (2) To assure service limitations that are uniform and appropriate to the levels of treatment required by the victim or derivative victim, the board may review all claims for these services as necessary to ensure their medical necessity. The board may further require additional documentation, information, or medical review of cases of continuing treatment which are projected to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000) to determine the need to continue treatment in excess of that amount. The board may accept or reject claims for the amount in excess of five thousand dollars ($5,000) by applying the same standards applicable to processing the initial claim or may approve a continuing treatment regimen for a specific interval or subject to periodic review as appropriate. All information requested of the treating therapist shall be provided at no cost to the applicant, the board, or to local victim centers, pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 13962. Requests for additional information shall be made in a timely manner so as not to interfere with necessary treatment. (k) The authority provided by this section shall not be construed to in any way diminish, enhance, or otherwise affect any authority that the board may have under current law except as explicitly provided in this section. (l) The board, in its discretion, may make payments directly to providers prior to verification. (m) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), the board may reimburse a victim or derivative victim for mental health counseling in excess of that authorized by that paragraph if the claim is based on dire or exceptional circumstances that require more extensive treatment, as approved by the board. (n) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), if, as of December 31, 1993, a person has incurred mental health counseling expenses pursuant to this article in excess of one-half of the amount specified in that subdivision, the board may award, in addition to amounts awarded for previously incurred expenses, an amount equal to not more than one-half of the applicable maximum amount specified in that paragraph or any additional amounts as the board determines is necessary. (o) The total award to or on behalf of a victim of a crime committed in violation of subdivision (d) of Section 261.5 of the Penal Code shall not exceed three thousand dollars ($3,000) for mental health counseling expenses only. (p) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2003, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2003, deletes or extends that date. SEC. 6. Section 13965 of the Government Code, as amended by Section 2 of Chapter 584 of the Statutes of 1999, is amended to read: 13965. (a) If the application for assistance is approved, the board shall determine what type of state assistance will best aid the victim or derivative victim.

Those services shall be limited to individual, in-person counseling on a face-to-face basis for a period not to exceed 10 weeks plus one series of facilitated support group counseling sessions.

(B) Reimbursement under this paragraph shall be made upon verification by law enforcement to be necessary for the personal safety of the victim or by a mental health treatment provider to be necessary for the emotional well-being of the victim. (C) The board shall develop procedures to ensure that the victim is using the reimbursement only for the purposes of this paragraph. The procedures may include, but need not be limited to, requiring copies of receipts, invoices, estimates, or other documents, or developing a method for direct payment to the vendor. (7) (A) In the case of a victim who is permanently disabled as a direct result of the crime, whether the disability is partial or total, authorize reimbursement for the expense of renovating or retrofitting his or her residence or vehicle, or both, to make the residence accessible or the vehicle operational by the victim. Reimbursement shall be made upon verification that the expense is medically necessary. Payment for these purposes shall not exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000), except that the board may award a greater amount when justified by the disability of the victim. (B) The board shall develop procedures to ensure that reimbursement is made only for the purposes of this paragraph. The procedures may include, but need not be limited to, requiring copies of receipts, invoices, estimates, or other documents, or developing a method for direct payment to the vendor. (8) Obtain an independent examination and report from any provider of psychological or psychiatric treatment or mental health counseling services, if it believes there is a reasonable basis for requesting an additional evaluation. In cases where the crime involves sexual assault, the provider shall have expertise in the needs of sexual assault victims. In cases where the crime involves child abuse or molestation, the provider shall have expertise in the needs of victims of child abuse or molestation, as appropriate. When a reevaluation is obtained, payments shall not be discontinued prior to completion of the reevaluation. (9) When a victim dies as a direct result of a crime, the board may reimburse any individual who voluntarily, and without anticipation of personal gain, pays or assumes the obligation to pay, the medical or burial expenses incurred as a direct result of the crime for the medical or burial expenses incurred in an amount not to exceed the rates or limitations established by the board. (10) The total award to or on behalf of the victim or a derivative victim shall not exceed thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000), and may be increased only in accordance with this section. (11) If the victim requests that the board give priority to reimbursement of loss of wages, the board shall not pay medical expenses or mental health counseling expenses except upon the request of the victim or after determining that payment of these expenses will not decrease the funds available to the victim for payment of loss of wages. (12) The board may authorize a direct cash payment to a provider of services that are reimbursable pursuant to this article. However, the board may not, without good cause, authorize a direct cash payment to a provider over the objection of the victim or applicant. (b) Assistance granted pursuant to this article shall not disqualify an otherwise eligible victim or derivative victim from participation in any other public assistance program. (c) Cash payments made pursuant to this article may be on a one-time or periodic basis. If periodic, the board may increase, reduce, or terminate the amount of assistance according to the victim' s or derivative victim's need, subject to the maximum limits provided in this section. (d) The board shall pay attorney's fees representing the reasonable value of legal services rendered to the applicant, in an amount equal to 10 percent of the amount of the award, or five hundred dollars ($500), whichever is less for each victim and each derivative victim. An attorney receiving fees from another source may waive the right to receive fees under this section. Payments under this section shall be in addition to any amount authorized or ordered under subdivision (d) of Section 13969.1. (e) No attorney shall charge, demand, receive, or collect any amount for services rendered in connection with any proceedings under this article except as awarded under this article. (f) The maximum cash payments authorized in paragraph (7) of subdivision (a) shall be increased to seventy thousand dollars ($70,000) if federal funds for those increases are available. (g) Notwithstanding subdivisions (a) and (f), a victim injured between January 1, 1985, and December 31, 1985, shall be entitled to receive a maximum cash payment of forty-six thousand dollars ($46,000) if federal funds for these increases are available, but only for costs in excess of limitations provided for in subdivision (a) which are attributable to medical or medical-related expenses, except for psychological or psychiatric treatment, or mental health counseling services. (h) Notwithstanding any conflicting provision of this chapter, the board may make additional payments for purposes described in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) to any victim who filed an application with the board on or after December 1, 1982, who was a victim of a crime involving sexual assault, and who is a minor at the time the additional payments pursuant to this subdivision are made. The payments authorized by this subdivision shall not exceed the limits imposed by subdivisions (a) and (j). (i) Reimbursement for any medical or medical-related services shall, if the victim's application has been approved, be paid by the board within an average of 90 days from receipt of the claim for payment. Payments to a medical or mental health provider under this subdivision or paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) shall not be discontinued prior to completion of any reevaluation. Whether or not a reevaluation is obtained, if the board determines that payments to a provider shall be discontinued, the board shall notify the provider of their discontinuance within 30 days of its determination. (j) (1) The board may establish maximum rates and service limitations for reimbursement of medical and medical-related expenses, including counseling expenses, for which restitution is requested pursuant to this section. For mental health and counseling services, rates shall not exceed the statewide average. The adoption, amendment, and repeal of these maximum rates shall not be subject to the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1). An informational copy of the maximum rates shall be filed with the Secretary of State upon adoption by the board. A provider who accepts payment from the program for a service shall accept the program's rates as payment in full and shall not accept any payment on account of the service from any other source if the total of payments accepted would exceed the maximum rate set by the board for that service. (2) To assure service limitations that are uniform and appropriate to the levels of treatment required by the victim or derivative victim, the board may review all claims for these services as necessary to ensure their medical necessity. The board may further require additional documentation, information, or medical review of cases of continuing treatment which are projected to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000) to determine the need to continue treatment in excess of that amount. The board may accept or reject claims for the amount in excess of five thousand dollars ($5,000) by applying the same standards applicable to processing the initial claim or may approve a continuing treatment regimen for a specific interval or subject to periodic review as appropriate. All information requested of the treating therapist shall be provided at no cost to the applicant, the board, or to local victim centers, pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 13962. Requests for additional information shall be made in a timely manner so as not to interfere with necessary treatment. (k) The authority provided by this section shall not be construed to in any way diminish, enhance, or otherwise affect any authority that the board may have under current law except as explicitly provided in this section. (l) The board, in its discretion, may make payments directly to providers prior to verification. (m) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), the board may reimburse a victim or derivative victim for mental health counseling in excess of that authorized by that paragraph if the claim is based on dire or exceptional circumstances that require more extensive treatment, as approved by the board. (n) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), if, as of December 31, 1993, a person has incurred mental health counseling expenses pursuant to this article in excess of one-half of the amount specified in that subdivision, the board may award, in addition to amounts awarded for previously incurred expenses, an amount equal to not more than one-half of the applicable maximum amount specified in that paragraph or any additional amounts as the board determines is necessary. (o) This section shall become operative on January 1, 2003. SEC. 7. Section 13965.1 is added to the Government Code, to read: 13965.1. (a) Pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 13965, the board may take any of the following actions: (1) Authorize a cash payment to the victim equal to the pecuniary loss resulting from loss of wages directly resulting from the injury, subject to the following: (A) Loss of wages shall not be paid by the board for more than five years following the crime, unless the victim is disabled as defined in Section 416(i) of Title 42 of the United States Code as a direct result of the injury. (B) If the board determines, after review of an application for assistance, including the evaluation of a qualified provider, that pecuniary loss for which payment may be made under this paragraph is expected to continue more than six months after the date of approval of the victim's application for assistance, disbursement shall commence and continue on a monthly basis for the period of time pecuniary loss is expected to continue. (2) Authorize a cash payment to an adult derivative victim for loss of wages, subject to the following: (A) The derivative victim is the parent or legal guardian of a victim, who at the time of the crime was under the age of 18 years and is hospitalized as a direct result of the crime. (B) The minor victim's treating physician certifies in writing that the presence of the victim's parent or legal guardian at the hospital is necessary for the treatment of the victim. (C) Reimbursement for loss of wages under this paragraph shall not exceed the total value of the wages that would have been earned by the adult derivative victim during a 30-day period. (3) Authorize a cash payment to an adult derivative victim for loss of wages, subject to the following: (A) The derivative victim is the parent or legal guardian of a victim who at the time of the crime was under the age of 18 years. (B) The victim dies as a direct result of the crime. (C) The board shall pay for loss of wages under this subdivision for not more than 30 days from the date of the victim's death. (4) Authorize a cash payment to a derivative victim who was legally dependent on the victim at the time of the crime for the loss of support incurred by that person as a direct result of the crime, subject to the following: (A) Loss of support shall not be paid by the board for income lost by an adult for a period of more than five years following the date of the crime. (B) Loss of support shall not be paid by the board on behalf of a minor for a period beyond the child's attaining the age of 18 years. (b) The total amount payable to all derivative victims whose claims fall under this section as the result of one crime shall not exceed seventy thousand dollars ($70,000). (c) Any change in the law resulting from the addition or amendment of this section shall be applied prospectively to claims based on the date of the crime on which the claim for loss of wages or loss of support is based. SEC. 8. Section 13968.5 of the Government Code is amended to read: 13968.5. (a) The board shall conduct a pilot program that entitles a victim or derivative victim to be reimbursed from the Restitution Fund for grief, mourning, and bereavement services in cases of death or severe trauma, except that the services shall not include mental health services for which a state license is required. These services shall be rendered by a person certified as a child life specialist by the National Child Life Council, who has at least five years of professional experience in the field of child life, as defined by the council. These services shall be performed under the supervision of a court, hospital, physician and surgeon, licensed psychotherapist included in Section 1010 of the Evidence Code, community-based organization, or county. The board may only include in the program a certified child life specialist who has been determined by a current employer in California or a California licensing entity not to have a criminal history that would prevent that employment or the issuance of a license. If neither determination has occurred, the board shall secure from the Department of Justice a criminal record to determine whether the applicant would be disqualified from employment pursuant to Sections 45122.1 and 45123 of the Education Code, and for these purposes the board may make the determinations required by that section. The board may charge a certified child life specialist a fee for the actual cost of fingerprinting and obtaining the criminal history information required by this section. The program shall terminate on January 1, 2004. The board shall evaluate the program and, notwithstanding Section 7550.5, shall report its conclusions and recommendations to the Legislature by January 31, 2003. The board may consider whether child life specialists should be licensed by a state agency in making its recommendations to the Legislature. (b) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2004, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2004, deletes or extends that date. SEC. 8.5. Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 13974.5) is added to Part 4 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, to read: CHAPTER 6. VICTIMS OF CRIME RECOVERY CENTER 13974.5. (a) The California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board shall enter into an interagency agreement with the University of California, San Francisco, to establish a victims of crime recovery center at the San Francisco General Hospital to demonstrate the effectiveness of providing comprehensive and integrated services to victims of crime, subject to conditions set forth by the board. (b) This section shall not apply to the University of California unless the Regents of the University of California, by appropriate resolution, make this section applicable. (c) The board shall report to the Legislature regarding the effectiveness of the victims of crime recovery center no later than May 1, 2004. (d) This section shall only be implemented to the extent that funding is appropriated for that purpose. 13974.7. This chapter shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2005, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2005, deletes or extends that date. SEC. 9. Section 1202.4 of the Penal Code is amended to read: 1202.4. (a) (1) It is the intent of the Legislature that a victim of crime who incurs any economic loss as a result of the commission of a crime shall receive restitution directly from any defendant convicted of that crime. (2) Upon a person being convicted of any crime in the State of California, the court shall order the defendant to pay a fine in the form of a penalty assessment in accordance with Section 1464. (3) The court, in addition to any other penalty provided or imposed under the law, shall order the defendant to pay both of the following: (A) A restitution fine in accordance with subdivision (b). (B) Restitution to the victim or victims, if any, in accordance with subdivision (f), which shall be enforceable as if the order were a civil judgment. (b) In every case where a person is convicted of a crime, the court shall impose a separate and additional restitution fine, unless it finds compelling and extraordinary reasons for not doing so, and states those reasons on the record. (1) The restitution fine shall be set at the discretion of the court and commensurate with the seriousness of the offense, but shall not be less than two hundred dollars ($200), and not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000), if the person is convicted of a felony, and shall not be less than one hundred dollars ($100), and not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000), if the person is convicted of a misdemeanor. (2) In setting a felony restitution fine, the court may determine the amount of the fine as the product of two hundred dollars ($200) multiplied by the number of years of imprisonment the defendant is ordered to serve, multiplied by the number of felony counts of which the defendant is convicted. (c) The court shall impose the restitution fine unless it finds compelling and extraordinary reasons for not doing so, and states those reasons on the record. A defendant's inability to pay shall not be considered a compelling and extraordinary reason not to impose a restitution fine. Inability to pay may be considered only in increasing the amount of the restitution fine in excess of the two-hundred-dollar ($200) or one-hundred-dollar ($100) minimum. (d) In setting the amount of the fine pursuant to subdivision (b) in excess of the two-hundred-dollar ($200) or one-hundred-dollar ($100) minimum, the court shall consider any relevant factors including, but not limited to, the defendant's inability to pay, the seriousness and gravity of the offense and the circumstances of its commission, any economic gain derived by the defendant as a result of the crime, the extent to which any other person suffered any losses as a result of the crime, and the number of victims involved in the crime. Those losses may include pecuniary losses to the victim or his or her dependents as well as intangible losses, such as psychological harm caused by the crime. Consideration of a defendant' s inability to pay may include his or her future earning capacity. A defendant shall bear the burden of demonstrating his or her inability to pay. Express findings by the court as to the factors bearing on the amount of the fine shall not be required. A separate hearing for the fine shall not be required. (e) The restitution fine shall not be subject to penalty assessments as provided in Section 1464, and shall be deposited in the Restitution Fund in the State Treasury. (f) In every case in which a victim has suffered economic loss as a result of the defendant's conduct, the court shall require that the defendant make restitution to the victim or victims in an amount established by court order, based on the amount of loss claimed by the victim or victims or any other showing to the court. If the amount of loss cannot be ascertained at the time of sentencing, the restitution order shall include a provision that the amount shall be determined at the direction of the court. The court shall order full restitution unless it finds compelling and extraordinary reasons for not doing so, and states them on the record. (1) The defendant has the right to a hearing before a judge to dispute the determination of the amount of restitution. The court may modify the amount, on its own motion or on the motion of the district attorney, the victim or victims, or the defendant. If a motion is made for modification of a restitution order, the victim shall be notified of that motion at least 10 days prior to the proceeding held to decide the motion. (2) Determination of the amount of restitution ordered pursuant to this subdivision shall not be affected by the indemnification or subrogation rights of any third party. Restitution ordered pursuant to this subdivision shall be ordered to be deposited to the Restitution Fund to the extent that the victim, as defined in subdivision (k), has received assistance from the Victims of Crime Program pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 13959) of Chapter 5 of Part 4 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code. (3) To the extent possible, the restitution order shall be prepared by the sentencing court, shall identify each victim and each loss to which it pertains, and shall be of a dollar amount that is sufficient to fully reimburse the victim or victims for every determined economic loss incurred as the result of the defendant's criminal conduct, including, but not limited to, all of the following: (A) Full or partial payment for the value of stolen or damaged property. The value of stolen or damaged property shall be the replacement cost of like property, or the actual cost of repairing the property when repair is possible. (B) Medical expenses. (C) Mental health counseling expenses. (D) Wages or profits lost due to injury incurred by the victim, and if the victim is a minor, wages or profits lost by the minor's parent, parents, guardian, or guardians, while caring for the injured minor. Lost wages shall include any commission income as well as any base wages. Commission income shall be established by evidence of commission income during the 12-month period prior to the date of the crime for which restitution is being ordered, unless good cause for a shorter time period is shown. (E) Wages or profits lost by the victim, and if the victim is a minor, wages or profits lost by the minor's parent, parents, guardian, or guardians, due to time spent as a witness or in assisting the police or prosecution. Lost wages shall include any commission income as well as any base wages. Commission income shall be established by evidence of commission income during the 12-month period prior to the date of the crime for which restitution is being ordered, unless good cause for a shorter time period is shown. (F) Noneconomic losses, including, but not limited to, psychological harm, for felony violations of Section 288. (G) Interest, at the rate of 10 percent per annum, that accrues as of the date of sentencing or loss, as determined by the court. (H) Actual and reasonable attorney's fees and other costs of collection accrued by a private entity on behalf of the victim. (I) Expenses incurred by an adult victim in relocating away from the defendant, including, but not limited to, deposits for utilities and telephone service, deposits for rental housing, temporary lodging and food expenses, clothing, and personal items. Expenses incurred pursuant to this section shall be verified by law enforcement to be necessary for the personal safety of the victim or by a mental health treatment provider to be necessary for the emotional well-being of the victim. (J) Expenses to install or increase residential security incurred related to a crime, as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 667.5, including, but not limited to, a home security device or system, or replacing or increasing the number of locks. (K) Expenses to retrofit a residence or vehicle, or both, to make the residence accessible to or the vehicle operational by the victim, if the victim is permanently disabled, whether the disability is partial or total, as a direct result of the crime. (4) Except as provided in paragraph (5), in any case in which an order may be entered pursuant to this subdivision, the defendant shall prepare and file a disclosure identifying all assets, income, and liabilities in which the defendant held or controlled a present or future interest as of the date of the defendant's arrest for the crime for which restitution may be ordered. This disclosure shall be available to the victim pursuant to Section 1214, and any use the court may make of the disclosure shall be subject to the restrictions of subdivision (g). The disclosure shall be signed by the defendant upon a form approved or adopted by the Judicial Council for the purpose of facilitating the disclosure. Any defendant who willfully states as true any material matter that he or she knows to be false on the disclosure required by this subdivision is guilty of a misdemeanor, unless this conduct is punishable as perjury or another provision of law provides for a greater penalty. (5) A defendant who fails to file the financial disclosure required in paragraph (4), but who has filed a financial affidavit or financial information pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 987, shall be deemed to have waived the confidentiality of that affidavit or financial information as to a victim in whose favor the order of restitution is entered pursuant to subdivision (f). The affidavit or information shall serve in lieu of the financial disclosure required in paragraph (4), and paragraphs (6), (7), (8), and (9) shall not apply. (6) Except as provided in paragraph (5), the defendant shall file the disclosure with the clerk of the court no later than the date set for the defendant's sentencing, unless otherwise directed by the court. The disclosure may be inspected or copied as provided by subdivision (b), (c), or (d) of Section 1203.05. (7) In its discretion, the court may relieve the defendant of the duty under paragraph (6) of filing with the clerk by requiring that the defendant's disclosure be submitted as an attachment to, and be available to, those authorized to receive the following: (A) Any report submitted pursuant to subparagraph (C) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 1203 or subdivision (g) of Section 1203. (B) Any stipulation submitted pursuant to paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 1203. (C) Any report by the probation officer, or any information submitted by the defendant applying for a conditional sentence pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 1203. (8) The court may consider a defendant's unreasonable failure to make a complete disclosure pursuant to paragraph (4) as any of the following: (A) A circumstance in aggravation of the crime in imposing a term under subdivision (b) of Section 1170. (B) A factor indicating that the interests of justice would not be served by admitting the defendant to probation under Section 1203. (C) A factor indicating that the interests of justice would not be served by conditionally sentencing the defendant under Section 1203. (D) A factor indicating that the interests of justice would not be served by imposing less than the maximum fine and sentence fixed by law for the case. (9) A defendant's failure or refusal to make the required disclosure pursuant to paragraph (4) shall not delay entry of an order of restitution or pronouncement of sentence. In appropriate cases, the court may do any of the following: (A) Require the defendant to be examined by the district attorney pursuant to subdivision (h). (B) If sentencing the defendant under Section 1170, provide that the victim shall receive a copy of the portion of the probation report filed pursuant to Section 1203.10 concerning the defendant's employment, occupation, finances, and liabilities. (C) If sentencing the defendant under Section 1203, set a date and place for submission of the disclosure required by paragraph (4) as a condition of probation or suspended sentence. (g) The court shall order full restitution unless it finds compelling and extraordinary reasons for not doing so, and states those reasons on the record. A defendant's inability to pay shall not be considered a compelling and extraordinary reason not to impose a restitution order, nor shall inability to pay be a consideration in determining the amount of a restitution order. (h) The district attorney may request an order of examination pursuant to the procedures specified in Article 2 (commencing with Section 708.110) of Chapter 6 of Division 2 of Title 9 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, in order to determine the defendant's financial assets for purposes of collecting on the restitution order. (i) A restitution order imposed pursuant to subdivision (f) shall be enforceable as if the order were a civil judgment. (j) The making of a restitution order pursuant to subdivision (f) shall not affect the right of a victim to recovery from the Restitution Fund as otherwise provided by law, except to the extent that restitution is actually collected pursuant to the order. Restitution collected pursuant to this subdivision shall be credited to any other judgments for the same losses obtained against the defendant arising out of the crime for which the defendant was convicted. (k) For purposes of this section, "victim" shall include all of the following: (1) The immediate surviving family of the actual victim. (2) Any corporation, business trust, estate, trust, partnership, association, joint venture, government, governmental subdivision, agency, or instrumentality, or any other legal or commercial entity when that entity is a direct victim of a crime. (3) "Derivative victims" as defined in Section 13960 of the Government Code. (l) At its discretion, the board of supervisors of any county may impose a fee to cover the actual administrative cost of collecting the restitution fine, not to exceed 10 percent of the amount ordered to be paid, to be added to the restitution fine and included in the order of the court, the proceeds of which shall be deposited in the general fund of the county. (m) In every case in which the defendant is granted probation, the court shall make the payment of restitution fines and orders imposed pursuant to this section a condition of probation. Any portion of a restitution order that remains unsatisfied after a defendant is no longer on probation shall continue to be enforceable by a victim pursuant to Section 1214 until the obligation is satisfied. (n) If the court finds and states on the record compelling and extraordinary reasons why a restitution fine or full restitution order should not be required, the court shall order, as a condition of probation, that the defendant perform specified community service, unless it finds and states on the record compelling and extraordinary reasons not to require community service in addition to the finding that restitution should not be required. Upon revocation of probation, the court shall impose restitution pursuant to this section. (o) The provisions of Section 13966.01 of the Government Code shall apply to restitution imposed pursuant to this section. (p) (1) This section shall become operative on January 1, 2000, except when all of the following apply: (A) A majority of judges of a court apply to the Judicial Council for an extension. (B) The judicial application described in paragraph (1) documents the need for time to adjust restitution procedures and practices, as well as to facilitate judicial education and training in direct restitution to victims under subdivision (f). (C) The Judicial Council grants the extension upon finding good cause. (2) Upon the grant of an extension pursuant to the application of a court under this subdivision, the provisions of former Section 1214 shall continue to apply with respect to that court. The extension may be for any period of time set by the Judicial Council, but shall not exceed January 1, 2002, in any case. SEC. 9.5. Section 1202.4 of the Penal Code is amended to read: 1202.4. (a) (1) It is the intent of the Legislature that a victim of crime who incurs any economic loss as a result of the commission of a crime shall receive restitution directly from any defendant convicted of that crime. (2) Upon a person being convicted of any crime in the State of California, the court shall order the defendant to pay a fine in the form of a penalty assessment in accordance with Section 1464. (3) The court, in addition to any other penalty provided or imposed under the law, shall order the defendant to pay both of the following: (A) A restitution fine in accordance with subdivision (b). (B) Restitution to the victim or victims, if any, in accordance with subdivision (f), which shall be enforceable as if the order were a civil judgment. (b) In every case where a person is convicted of a crime, the court shall impose a separate and additional restitution fine, unless it finds compelling and extraordinary reasons for not doing so, and states those reasons on the record. (1) The restitution fine shall be set at the discretion of the court and commensurate with the seriousness of the offense, but shall not be less than two hundred dollars ($200), and not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000), if the person is convicted of a felony, and shall not be less than one hundred dollars ($100), and not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000), if the person is convicted of a misdemeanor. (2) In setting a felony restitution fine, the court may determine the amount of the fine as the product of two hundred dollars ($200) multiplied by the number of years of imprisonment the defendant is ordered to serve, multiplied by the number of felony counts of which the defendant is convicted. (c) The court shall impose the restitution fine unless it finds compelling and extraordinary reasons for not doing so, and states those reasons on the record. A defendant's inability to pay shall not be considered a compelling and extraordinary reason not to impose a restitution fine. Inability to pay may be considered only in increasing the amount of the restitution fine in excess of the two-hundred-dollar ($200) or one-hundred-dollar ($100) minimum. (d) In setting the amount of the fine pursuant to subdivision (b) in excess of the two-hundred-dollar ($200) or one-hundred-dollar ($100) minimum, the court shall consider any relevant factors including, but not limited to, the defendant's inability to pay, the seriousness and gravity of the offense and the circumstances of its commission, any economic gain derived by the defendant as a result of the crime, the extent to which any other person suffered any losses as a result of the crime, and the number of victims involved in the crime. Those losses may include pecuniary losses to the victim or his or her dependents as well as intangible losses, such as psychological harm caused by the crime. Consideration of a defendant' s inability to pay may include his or her future earning capacity. A defendant shall bear the burden of demonstrating his or her inability to pay. Express findings by the court as to the factors bearing on the amount of the fine shall not be required. A separate hearing for the fine shall not be required. (e) The restitution fine shall not be subject to penalty assessments as provided in Section 1464, and shall be deposited in the Restitution Fund in the State Treasury. (f) In every case in which a victim has suffered economic loss as a result of the defendant's conduct, the court shall require that the defendant make restitution to the victim or victims in an amount established by court order, based on the amount of loss claimed by the victim or victims or any other showing to the court. If the amount of loss cannot be ascertained at the time of sentencing, the restitution order shall include a provision that the amount shall be determined at the direction of the court. The court shall order full restitution unless it finds compelling and extraordinary reasons for not doing so, and states them on the record. (1) The defendant has the right to a hearing before a judge to dispute the determination of the amount of restitution. The court may modify the amount, on its own motion or on the motion of the district attorney, the victim or victims, or the defendant. If a motion is made for modification of a restitution order, the victim shall be notified of that motion at least 10 days prior to the proceeding held to decide the motion. (2) Determination of the amount of restitution ordered pursuant to this subdivision shall not be affected by the indemnification or subrogation rights of any third party. Restitution ordered pursuant to this subdivision shall be ordered to be deposited to the Restitution Fund to the extent that the victim, as defined in subdivision (k), has received assistance from the Victims of Crime Program pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 13959) of Chapter 5 of Part 4 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code. (3) To the extent possible, the restitution order shall be prepared by the sentencing court, shall identify each victim and each loss to which it pertains, and shall be of a dollar amount that is sufficient to fully reimburse the victim or victims for every determined economic loss incurred as the result of the defendant's criminal conduct, including, but not limited to, all of the following: (A) Full or partial payment for the value of stolen or damaged property.

(C) Mental health counseling expenses. (D) Wages or profits lost due to injury incurred by the victim, and if the victim is a minor, wages or profits lost by the minor's parent, parents, guardian, or guardians, while caring for the injured minor.

Commission income shall be established by evidence of commission income during the 12-month period prior to the date of the crime for which restitution is being ordered, unless good cause for a shorter time period is shown. (E) Wages or profits lost by the victim, and if the victim is a minor, wages or profits lost by the minor's parent, parents, guardian, or guardians, due to time spent as a witness or in assisting the police or prosecution.

(I) Expenses incurred by an adult victim in relocating away from the defendant, including, but not limited to, deposits for utilities and telephone service, deposits for rental housing, temporary lodging and food expenses, clothing, and personal items. Expenses incurred pursuant to this section shall be verified by law enforcement to be necessary for the personal safety of the victim or by a mental health treatment provider to be necessary for the emotional well-being of the victim. (J) Expenses to install or increase residential security incurred related to a crime, as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 667.5, including, but not limited to, a home security device or system, or replacing or increasing the number of locks.

(B) The amount of assistance provided by the Restitution Fund shall be established by copies of bills submitted to the State Board of Control reflecting the amount paid by the board and whether the services for which payment was made were for medical or dental expenses, funeral or burial expenses, mental health counseling, wage or support losses, or rehabilitation. Certified copies of these bills provided by the State Board of Control and redacted to protect the privacy and safety of the victim or any legal privilege, together with a statement made under penalty of perjury by the custodian of records that those bills were submitted to and were paid by the State Board of Control, shall be sufficient to meet this requirement. (C) If the defendant offers evidence to rebut the presumption established by this paragraph, the court may release additional information contained in the records of the State Board of Control to the defendant only after reviewing that information in camera and finding that the information is necessary for the defendant to dispute the amount of the restitution order. (5) Except as provided in paragraph (6), in any case in which an order may be entered pursuant to this subdivision, the defendant shall prepare and file a disclosure identifying all assets, income, and liabilities in which the defendant held or controlled a present or future interest as of the date of the defendant's arrest for the crime for which restitution may be ordered. This disclosure shall be available to the victim pursuant to Section 1214, and any use the court may make of the disclosure shall be subject to the restrictions of subdivision (g). The disclosure shall be signed by the defendant upon a form approved or adopted by the Judicial Council for the purpose of facilitating the disclosure. Any defendant who willfully states as true any material matter that he or she knows to be false on the disclosure required by this subdivision is guilty of a misdemeanor, unless this conduct is punishable as perjury or another provision of law provides for a greater penalty. (6) A defendant who fails to file the financial disclosure required in paragraph (5), but who has filed a financial affidavit or financial information pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 987, shall be deemed to have waived the confidentiality of that affidavit or financial information as to a victim in whose favor the order of restitution is entered pursuant to subdivision (f). The affidavit or information shall serve in lieu of the financial disclosure required in paragraph (5), and paragraphs (7) to (10), inclusive, shall not apply. (7) Except as provided in paragraph (6), the defendant shall file the disclosure with the clerk of the court no later than the date set for the defendant's sentencing, unless otherwise directed by the court. The disclosure may be inspected or copied as provided by subdivision (b), (c), or (d) of Section 1203.05. (8) In its discretion, the court may relieve the defendant of the duty under paragraph (7) of filing with the clerk by requiring that the defendant's disclosure be submitted as an attachment to, and be available to, those authorized to receive the following: (A) Any report submitted pursuant to subparagraph (C) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 1203 or subdivision (g) of Section 1203. (B) Any stipulation submitted pursuant to paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 1203. (C) Any report by the probation officer, or any information submitted by the defendant applying for a conditional sentence pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 1203. (9) The court may consider a defendant's unreasonable failure to make a complete disclosure pursuant to paragraph (5) as any of the following: (A) A circumstance in aggravation of the crime in imposing a term under subdivision (b) of Section 1170. (B) A factor indicating that the interests of justice would not be served by admitting the defendant to probation under Section 1203. (C) A factor indicating that the interests of justice would not be served by conditionally sentencing the defendant under Section 1203. (D) A factor indicating that the interests of justice would not be served by imposing less than the maximum fine and sentence fixed by law for the case. (10) A defendant's failure or refusal to make the required disclosure pursuant to paragraph (5) shall not delay entry of an order of restitution or pronouncement of sentence. In appropriate cases, the court may do any of the following: (A) Require the defendant to be examined by the district attorney pursuant to subdivision (h). (B) If sentencing the defendant under Section 1170, provide that the victim shall receive a copy of the portion of the probation report filed pursuant to Section 1203.10 concerning the defendant's employment, occupation, finances, and liabilities. (C) If sentencing the defendant under Section 1203, set a date and place for submission of the disclosure required by paragraph (5) as a condition of probation or suspended sentence. (g) The court shall order full restitution unless it finds compelling and extraordinary reasons for not doing so, and states those reasons on the record. A defendant's inability to pay shall not be considered a compelling and extraordinary reason not to impose a restitution order, nor shall inability to pay be a consideration in determining the amount of a restitution order. (h) The district attorney may request an order of examination pursuant to the procedures specified in Article 2 (commencing with Section 708.110) of Chapter 6 of Division 2 of Title 9 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, in order to determine the defendant's financial assets for purposes of collecting on the restitution order. (i) A restitution order imposed pursuant to subdivision (f) shall be enforceable as if the order were a civil judgment. (j) The making of a restitution order pursuant to subdivision (f) shall not affect the right of a victim to recovery from the Restitution Fund as otherwise provided by law, except to the extent that restitution is actually collected pursuant to the order. Restitution collected pursuant to this subdivision shall be credited to any other judgments for the same losses obtained against the defendant arising out of the crime for which the defendant was convicted. (k) For purposes of this section, "victim" shall include all of the following: (1) The immediate surviving family of the actual victim. (2) Any corporation, business trust, estate, trust, partnership, association, joint venture, government, governmental subdivision, agency, or instrumentality, or any other legal or commercial entity when that entity is a direct victim of a crime. (3) "Derivative victims" as defined in Section 13960 of the Government Code. (l) At its discretion, the board of supervisors of any county may impose a fee to cover the actual administrative cost of collecting the restitution fine, not to exceed 10 percent of the amount ordered to be paid, to be added to the restitution fine and included in the order of the court, the proceeds of which shall be deposited in the general fund of the county. (m) In every case in which the defendant is granted probation, the court shall make the payment of restitution fines and orders imposed pursuant to this section a condition of probation. Any portion of a restitution order that remains unsatisfied after a defendant is no longer on probation shall continue to be enforceable by a victim pursuant to Section 1214 until the obligation is satisfied. (n) If the court finds and states on the record compelling and extraordinary reasons why a restitution fine or full restitution order should not be required, the court shall order, as a condition of probation, that the defendant perform specified community service, unless it finds and states on the record compelling and extraordinary reasons not to require community service in addition to the finding that restitution should not be required. Upon revocation of probation, the court shall impose restitution pursuant to this section. (o) The provisions of Section 13966.01 of the Government Code shall apply to restitution imposed pursuant to this section. (p) (1) This section shall become operative on January 1, 2000, except when all of the following apply: (A) A majority of judges of a court apply to the Judicial Council for an extension. (B) The judicial application described in paragraph (1) documents the need for time to adjust restitution procedures and practices, as well as to facilitate judicial education and training in direct restitution to victims under subdivision (f). (C) The Judicial Council grants the extension upon finding good cause. (2) Upon the grant of an extension pursuant to the application of a court under this subdivision, the provisions of former Section 1214 shall continue to apply with respect to that court. The extension may be for any period of time set by the Judicial Council, but shall not exceed January 1, 2002, in any case. SEC. 10. Section 1203.1k of the Penal Code is amended to read: 1203.1k. For any order of restitution made under Section 1203.1, the court may order the specific amount of restitution and the manner in which restitution shall be made to a victim or the Restitution Fund, to the extent that the victim has received payment from the Victims of Crime Program, based on the probation officer's report or it may, with the consent of the defendant, order the probation officer to set the amount of restitution and the manner in which restitution shall be made to a victim or the Restitution Fund, to the extent that the victim has received payment from the Victims of Crime Program. The defendant shall have the right to a hearing before the judge to dispute the determinations made by the probation officer in regard to the amount or manner in which restitution is to be made to the victim or the Restitution Fund, to the extent that the victim has received payment from the Victims of Crime Program. If the court orders restitution to be made to the Restitution Fund, the court, and not the probation officer, shall determine the amount and the manner in which restitution is to be made to the Restitution Fund. SEC. 11. Section 1203.3 of the Penal Code is amended to read: 1203.3. (a) The court shall have authority at any time during the term of probation to revoke, modify, or change its order of suspension of imposition or execution of sentence. The court may at any time when the ends of justice will be subserved thereby, and when the good conduct and reform of the person so held on probation shall warrant it, terminate the period of probation, and discharge the person so held. (b) The exercise of the court's authority in subdivision (a) to revoke, modify, change, or terminate probation is subject to the following: (1) Before any sentence or term or condition of probation is modified, a hearing shall be held in open court before the judge. The prosecuting attorney shall be given a two-day written notice and an opportunity to be heard on the matter. (A) If the sentence or term or condition of probation is modified pursuant to this section, the judge shall state the reasons for that modification on the record. (B) As used in this section, modification of sentence shall include reducing a felony to a misdemeanor. (2) No order shall be made without written notice first given by the court or the clerk thereof to the proper probation officer of the intention to revoke, modify, or change its order. (3) In all cases, if the court has not seen fit to revoke the order of probation and impose sentence or pronounce judgment, the defendant shall at the end of the term of probation or any extension thereof, be by the court discharged subject to the provisions of these sections. (4) The court may modify the time and manner of the term of probation for purposes of measuring the timely payment of restitution obligations or the good conduct and reform of the defendant while on probation. The court shall not modify the dollar amount of the restitution obligations due to the good conduct and reform of the defendant, absent compelling and extraordinary reasons, nor shall the court limit the ability of payees to enforce the obligations in the manner of judgments in civil actions. (5) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the court from modifying the dollar amount of a restitution order pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 1202.4 at any time during the term of the probation. (c) If a probationer is ordered to serve time in jail, and the probationer escapes while serving that time, the probation is revoked as a matter of law on the day of the escape. (d) If probation is revoked pursuant to subdivision (c), upon taking the probationer into custody, the probationer shall be accorded a hearing or hearings consistent with the holding in the case of People v. Vickers (1972) 8 Cal.3d 451. The purpose of that hearing or hearings is not to revoke probation, as the revocation has occurred as a matter of law in accordance with subdivision (c), but rather to afford the defendant an opportunity to require the prosecution to establish that the alleged violation did in fact occur and to justify the revocation. (e) This section does not apply to cases covered by Section 1203.2. SEC. 12. Section 730.6 of the Welfare and Institutions Code is amended to read: 730.6. (a) (1) It is the intent of the Legislature that a victim of conduct for which a minor is found to be a person described in Section 602 who incurs any economic loss as a result of the minor's conduct shall receive restitution directly from that minor. (2) Upon a minor being found to be a person described in Section 602, the court shall consider levying a fine in accordance with Section 730.5. In addition, the court shall order the minor to pay, in addition to any other penalty provided or imposed under the law, both of the following: (A) A restitution fine in accordance with subdivision (b). (B) Restitution to the victim or victims, if any, in accordance with subdivision (h). (b) In every case where a minor is found to be a person described in Section 602, the court shall impose a separate and additional restitution fine. The restitution fine shall be set at the discretion of the court and commensurate with the seriousness of the offense as follows: (1) If the minor is found to be a person described in Section 602 by reason of the commission of one or more felony offenses, the restitution fine shall not be less than one hundred dollars ($100) and not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000). A separate hearing for the fine shall not be required. (2) If the minor is found to be a person described in Section 602 by reason of the commission of one or more misdemeanor offenses, the restitution fine shall not exceed one hundred dollars ($100). A separate hearing for the fine shall not be required. (c) The restitution fine shall be in addition to any other disposition or fine imposed and shall be imposed regardless of the minor's inability to pay. This fine shall be deposited in the Restitution Fund, the proceeds of which shall be distributed pursuant to Section 13967 of the Government Code. (d) (1) In setting the amount of the fine pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), the court shall consider any relevant factors including, but not limited to, the minor's ability to pay, the seriousness and gravity of the offense and the circumstances of its commission, any economic gain derived by the minor as a result of the offense, and the extent to which others suffered losses as a result of the offense. The losses may include pecuniary losses to the victim or his or her dependents as well as intangible losses such as psychological harm caused by the offense. (2) The consideration of a minor's ability to pay may include his or her future earning capacity. A minor shall bear the burden of demonstrating a lack of his or her ability to pay. (e) Express findings of the court as to the factors bearing on the amount of the fine shall not be required. (f) Except as provided in subdivision (g), under no circumstances shall the court fail to impose the separate and additional restitution fine required by subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a). This fine shall not be subject to penalty assessments pursuant to Section 1464 of the Penal Code. (g) In a case in which the minor is a person described in Section 602 by reason of having committed a felony offense, if the court finds that there are compelling and extraordinary reasons, the court may waive imposition of the restitution fine required by subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a). When a waiver is granted, the court shall state on the record all reasons supporting the waiver. (h) Restitution ordered pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) shall be imposed in the amount of the losses, as determined. If the amount of loss cannot be ascertained at the time of sentencing, the restitution order shall include a provision that the amount shall be determined at the direction of the court at any time during the term of the commitment or probation. The court shall order full restitution unless it finds compelling and extraordinary reasons for not doing so, and states them on the record. A minor's inability to pay shall not be considered a compelling or extraordinary reason not to impose a restitution order, nor shall inability to pay be a consideration in determining the amount of the restitution order. A restitution order pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), to the extent possible, shall be of a dollar amount sufficient to fully reimburse the victim or victims for all determined economic losses incurred as the result of the minor's conduct for which the minor was found to be a person described in Section 602, including all of the following: (1) Full or partial payment for the value of stolen or damaged property. The value of stolen or damaged property shall be the replacement cost of like property, or the actual cost of repairing the property when repair is possible. (2) Medical expenses. (3) Wages or profits lost due to injury incurred by the victim, and if the victim is a minor, wages or profits lost by the minor's parent, parents, guardian, or guardians, while caring for the injured minor. Lost wages shall include any commission income as well as any base wages. Commission income shall be established by evidence of commission income during the 12-month period prior to the date of the crime for which restitution is being ordered, unless good cause for a shorter time period is shown. (4) Wages or profits lost by the victim, and if the victim is a minor, wages or profits lost by the minor's parent, parents, guardian, or guardians, due to time spent as a witness or in assisting the police or prosecution. Lost wages shall include any commission income as well as any base wages. Commission income shall be established by evidence of commission income during the 12-month period prior to the date of the crime for which restitution is being ordered, unless good cause for a shorter time period is shown. A minor shall have the right to a hearing before a judge to dispute the determination of the amount of restitution. The court may modify the amount on its own motion or on the motion of the district attorney, the victim or victims, or the minor. If a motion is made for modification of a restitution order, the victim shall be notified of that motion at least 10 days prior to the hearing on the motion. (i) A restitution order imposed pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) shall identify the losses to which it pertains, and shall be enforceable as a civil judgment pursuant to subdivision (r). The making of a restitution order pursuant to this subdivision shall not affect the right of a victim to recovery from the Restitution Fund in the manner provided elsewhere, except to the extent that restitution is actually collected pursuant to the order. Restitution collected pursuant to this subdivision shall be credited to any other judgments for the same losses obtained against the minor or the minor's parent or guardian arising out of the offense for which the minor was found to be a person described in Section 602. Restitution imposed shall be ordered to be made to the Restitution Fund to the extent that the victim, as defined in subdivision (j), has received assistance from the Victims of Crime Program pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 13959) of Chapter 5 of Part 4 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code. (j) For purposes of this section, "victim" shall include the immediate surviving family of the actual victim. (k) Nothing in this section shall prevent a court from ordering restitution to any corporation, business trust, estate, trust, partnership, association, joint venture, government, governmental subdivision, agency, or instrumentality, or any other legal or commercial entity when that entity is a direct victim of an offense. (l) Upon a minor being found to be a person described in Section 602, the court shall require as a condition of probation the payment of restitution fines and orders imposed under this section. Any portion of a restitution order that remains unsatisfied after a minor is no longer on probation shall continue to be enforceable by a victim pursuant to subdivision (r) until the obligation is satisfied in full. (m) Probation shall not be revoked for failure of a person to make restitution pursuant to this section as a condition of probation unless the court determines that the person has willfully failed to pay or failed to make sufficient bona fide efforts to legally acquire the resources to pay. (n) If the court finds and states on the record compelling and extraordinary reasons why restitution should not be required as provided in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), the court shall order, as a condition of probation, that the minor perform specified community service. (o) The court may avoid ordering community service as a condition of probation only if it finds and states on the record compelling and extraordinary reasons not to order community service in addition to the finding that restitution pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) should not be required. (p) When a minor is committed to the Department of the Youth Authority, the court shall order restitution to be paid to the victim or victims, if any. Payment of restitution to the victim or victims pursuant to this subdivision shall take priority in time over payment of any other restitution fine imposed pursuant to this section. (q) At its discretion, the board of supervisors of any county may impose a fee to cover the actual administrative cost of collecting the restitution fine, not to exceed 10 percent of the amount ordered to be paid, to be added to the restitution fine and included in the order of the court, the proceeds of which shall be deposited in the general fund of the county. (r) If the judgment is for a restitution fine ordered pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), or a restitution order imposed pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), the judgment may be enforced in the manner provided in Section 1214 of the Penal Code.

The court shall order full restitution unless it finds compelling and extraordinary reasons for not doing so, and states them on the record.

The court may modify the amount on its own motion or on the motion of the district attorney, the victim or victims, or the minor. If a motion is made for modification of a restitution order, the victim shall be notified of that motion at least 10 days prior to the hearing on the motion. When the amount of victim restitution is not known at the time of disposition, the court order shall identify the victim or victims, unless the court finds for good cause that the order should not identify a victim or victims, and state that the amount of restitution for each victim is to be determined.
