MODERATE
The bill was amended to shift its focus entirely from Substance Use Disorder to the Crime Victims Compensation Act. This change replaces the previous focus on treating addiction with a new framework for compensating victims of violent crimes.
Scope change
The bill's scope changed from regulating substance use disorder treatment to providing financial compensation to victims of specific violent crimes.
SCOPE
All text related to the Substance Use Disorder Act, including legislative declarations and strategies for treating addiction, was removed.
The bill now amends the Crime Victims Compensation Act to define who qualifies for financial compensation.
ELIGIBILITY
New eligibility criteria were added to expand the definition of 'victim' to include grandparents, siblings, dating partners, and witnesses who can establish a link to the crime.
DEFINITION
The definition of 'crime of violence' was updated to list specific offenses under the Criminal Code and Illinois Vehicle Code, while explicitly excluding certain vehicle crashes unless specific conditions are met.
