SB 417, Portantino. California Victim Compensation Board: claim.

Existing law requires the California Victim Compensation Board, in cases in which evidence shows that a crime with which a claimant was charged was either not committed at all, or not committed by the claimant, to report the facts of the case and its conclusions to the Legislature with a recommendation that the Legislature make an appropriation for the purpose of indemnifying the claimant.

This bill would appropriate $5,087,040 from the General Fund to the executive officer of the board for payment of the claims of specified individuals.

This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
