New York S04677 allows crime victim assistance funds for overdose victims who died due to deception, surreptitious delivery, or third-party.
New York S04677 amends the executive law to permit the award of crime victim assistance funds to victims of overdoses that result in death. These overdoses must have been caused by deception, surreptitious delivery, or third-party administration of a controlled substance. The bill specifies that the victim's consumption of the controlled substance must have been a direct result of such actions by another person. This change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
