AB 1100: Victim compensation.

The bill aims to amend the victim compensation process in California. It changes the definition of "derivative victim" and "victim" and introduces a new term, "victim of violent crime advocate". The bill allows the victim compensation board to verify information without requiring applicants to cooperate, and prohibits the board from seeking additional information solely to verify the qualifying crime. The bill deletes provisions that deny compensation based on the victim's involvement in the crime or their cooperation with law enforcement. It also changes the conditions for compensating adult derivative victims for loss of income and removes the authorization to compensate minors at the time of the crime. The cap on the amount payable to derivative victims is reduced from $100,000 to $70,000.
