HCS SB 401 -- DEFINITION OF CRIME

Only for the purposes of Chapter 595, RSMo (Victims of Crime,
Compensation and Services), this bill clarifies that a crime
occurs at the time of the commission or attempted commission of
the crime, rather than when the perpetrator is charged or
convicted.

The bill also increases from $250,000 to $500,000 the amount of
money transferred from the Crime Victims' Compensation Fund to
the state forensic laboratory account.
