MINOR

This bill amends New York's crime victim compensation law to add clearer definitions of eligible personal property and remove specific dollar limits on certain items. The changes expand what types of household items victims can claim reimbursement for while maintaining a $2,500 cap on essential property claims.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded by adding new categories of eligible property and removing previous monetary restrictions on essential personal property claims.

ELIGIBILITY

Added new paragraphs (c), (d), and (f) to Section 2 that define specific household items like furniture, appliances, electronics, and bedding as eligible for reimbursement.

FISCAL

Removed previous $2,500 limit on essential personal property and $100 limit on cash losses, replacing them with a new $2,500 cap that applies to the broader category of essential property.

REQUIREMENT

Modified the structure of the law to reorganize property categories from paragraphs (b) and (c) to new paragraphs (c), (d), and (f) for better clarity.
