A bill for an act relating to the disposition of collected criminal case fines and establishing a victim restitution fund.

This bill redirects 7% of criminal fines collected in Iowa counties to a new victim restitution fund, instead of the current 9% going to county general funds. The fund, administered by the Department of Justice, will pay restitution for victims' financial losses (like medical costs or lost wages) and wrongful death expenses (including up to $150,000 under specific law). It ensures unused funds in the restitution account carry over annually rather than reverting to general state funds. The change affects all victims of crimes where fines are collected, directly supporting their financial recovery through dedicated state resources.
