AI Summary

This bill aims to authorize the Division of Victim Compensation and Assistance to monitor profits from criminal activities of incarcerated individuals. It requires any party that contracts with or pays a defendant, who may have received money through a crime, to submit the contract to the Division within 30 days. The Division will then determine if the contract includes "proceeds of the crime" and take appropriate actions, such as requiring a bond, to ensure victims can recover damages. The bill also tolls the statute of limitations for tort actions by victims against the defendant during the defendant's incarceration, parole, or probation.
