Revise definition of victim in youth court act

Complete·4/17/25

Montana HB173 revises the definition of "victim" in the Montana Youth Court Act to include corporations or other entities.

Montana HB173 amends the Montana Youth Court Act by expanding the definition of "victim" to include corporations or other entities. Previously, a victim was defined as a natural person suffering injury from an offense committed by a youth. Now, the definition also includes adult relatives of minor victims and entities harmed by offenses committed by youth. This change aims to ensure broader protection and restitution for all affected parties.
