EXC - Executive
Article 22 - (620 - 635) OFFICE OF VICTIM SERVICES
620 - Declaration of policy and legislative intent.

§ 620. Declaration  of  policy and legislative intent. The legislature
  recognizes that many innocent persons suffer personal physical injury or
  death as a result of criminal acts. Such persons or their dependents may
  thereby  suffer  disability,  incur  financial  hardships,   or   become
  dependent  upon  public assistance. The legislature finds and determines
  that there is a  need  for  government  financial  assistance  for  such
  victims  of crime. Accordingly, it is the legislature's intent that aid,
  care and support be provided by the state, as a  matter  of  grace,  for
  such victims of crime.
