AI Summary
This bill modifies the membership provisions of the Crime Victim's Reparations Committee by expanding and specifying the composition of its public members. Previously, the committee consisted of five commission members and three public members with broad representations. The new structure requires five public members with more specific backgrounds: two members representing charitable organizations serving victims (with at least one focusing on sexual assault, human trafficking, or domestic abuse victims), two members with training and work experience with victims (with at least one specializing in sexual assault, human trafficking, or domestic abuse), and one member who is a victim themselves. The bill also adjusts term lengths, specifying that members will serve four-year terms beginning October 1st, with some initial members serving two-year terms to stagger appointments. Members can continue serving until their successors are appointed, and any vacancies will be filled for the remainder of the original term. These changes aim to ensure more targeted and diverse representation on the committee, with a specific focus on different types of victim services and experiences.
