Bill > H1655

This bill amends two sections of Chapter 10 of the Massachusetts General Laws to expand the scope of victim trust funds by explicitly including revenues received from both public and private sources in the form of gifts, grants, and donations. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 66 and Section 66A to add language that broadens the potential funding sources for these victim service funds. By including this additional language, the bill allows the commonwealth to accept and utilize a wider range of financial contributions for supporting victim services, potentially increasing the resources available to help crime victims. The changes appear to be technical in nature, aimed at providing more flexibility in how victim trust funds can be funded and managed, potentially opening up new opportunities for financial support from various donors and sources beyond traditional government appropriations.
