Minnesota HF1295 includes children's advocacy centers as eligible victim assistance programs for a portion of certain fines.
Minnesota HF1295 amends the state statutes to include children's advocacy centers as eligible victim assistance programs for a portion of certain fines. When a court sentences someone convicted of specific crimes, it must impose a fine of at least 30 percent of the maximum fine. The court collects this fine and forwards 70 percent to a local victim assistance program, which now includes children's advocacy centers. The remaining 30 percent goes to the general fund.
