Bill > SB6083

This bill aims to discourage violent protests at postsecondary institutions by limiting a court's ability to waive restitution owed to these institutions. Specifically, it amends existing laws to prevent courts from relieving offenders of paying full or partial restitution, including accrued interest, to postsecondary institutions, even if the offender demonstrates an inability to pay. This change is being made in response to concerns about vandalism and violence occurring under the guise of political speech, which impacts public safety and welfare, while still affirming the right to peaceful protest.
