Relating to the payment of an award for certain health care expenses under the Crime Victims' Compensation Act.

HB 4118 requires the attorney general to pay crime victims for health care copays within 10 days of filing an application under the Crime Victims' Compensation Act. This directly affects victims who paid out-of-pocket for medical services related to a crime (referred to as "criminally injurious conduct" in the bill). The key change mandates that compensation for these copays must be issued by the 10th day after application submission, replacing the prior timeline. The law applies only to applications filed on or after September 1, 2025, with pre-existing applications governed by older rules.
