Bill overview
This bill proposed to require the Division of Victim Compensation and Assistance to track and potentially redistribute profits earned by incarcerated individuals through criminal activities. The goal was to ensure that victims of crime received some compensation for the harm they suffered. The bill ultimately failed to pass the Massachusetts legislature after being referred to the Judiciary committee and undergoing a study order.
