An Act relative to profits from crime

This bill creates a new state law requiring businesses that pay incarcerated individuals to report their agreements to the Division of Victim Compensation and Assistance. Companies must submit contracts or summaries of verbal deals within 30 days and post a financial bond to protect victims if the money paid is linked to criminal activity. The law defines crimes as serious offenses punishable by prison time and includes provisions for notifying victims about these financial arrangements. If businesses fail to comply with reporting or bonding requirements, the state can impose civil penalties ranging from the contract value up to three times that amount. These measures aim to ensure that profits derived from criminal behavior are monitored and potentially made available to victims.
