(2)
There is established in the State Treasury the "Crime Victims' Compensation
Fund," hereinafter referred to as the "fund," to be administered by the Crime
Victims' Compensation Board. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the
power of the court to order additional forms of restitution including public or
charitable work or reparation to the victim, to the fund, or otherwise as
authorized by law.
The fund shall consist of moneys from the following: appropriations by the
General Assembly; the federal government; disbursements provided under
KRS 42.320(2)(g); and any other public or private source. Any unexpended
balance remaining in the fund at the end of the biennium shall not lapse and be
transferred to the general fund, but shall remain in the crime victims'
compensation fund. Any funds not utilized by the board shall be used to
provide assistance to programs for victims and the board shall allocate such
funds to any agency providing services to victims. In the event there are
insufficient funds in the fund to pay all claims in full, all claims shall be paid at
seventy percent (70%). If there are no moneys in the fund, then no claim shall
be paid until moneys have again accumulated. In addition to payment of
claims, moneys in the fund shall be used to pay all the necessary and proper
expenses of the Crime Victims' Compensation Board.
