HB 1348: Restitution for Collateral Injury

H.B. 1348, P.N. 1606 (BAKER) This would amend Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses).
This would require a court to order restitution, ordered upon conviction for stealing or causing personal injury, to include being ordered for a collateral injury. A collateral injury would be defined as money a victim pays to any professional (i.e. attorney, psychologist, accountant, etc.) required for dealing with adverse consequences directly resulting from the criminal act, including defending against false charges, counseling, contesting unwarranted debt collection actions, and correcting credit reports.
