The bill establishes a process for a person who has paid a monetary amount due to a criminal conviction to request a refund of the amount paid if: • The conviction was overturned and either the charges were dismissed or the person was acquitted following a new trial; or • All or part of an order for restitution was reversed and the person paid more restitution than was ultimately ordered. The bill directs the state court administrator to pay to the person, from amounts appropriated from the general fund, the amount of any refund found due.
