Overview
This bill changes the deadline for filing claims with the Alabama Crime Victims Compensation Commission. Currently, victims have one year from an injury or death to file a claim. This bill extends that timeframe to two years, allowing more time for victims to seek compensation. The bill also clarifies circumstances under which compensation may be denied or reduced, including instances of offender involvement and failure to cooperate with law enforcement.
