Bill > H0937

This bill makes several changes to Vermont law, including defining "profits from crimes" to include property or income derived from criminal activity and allowing victims to sue for these profits within three years of discovery, while also enabling the Attorney General to recover costs for incarcerated defendants if victims don't claim profits. It also modifies penalties for underage alcohol and cannabis possession, clarifies rules for public access to electronic court records, adjusts procedures for renewing judgments in the Family Division of the Superior Court, and changes the return date for executions on Superior Court judgments. Additionally, the bill refines definitions related to stalking and harassment, updates victim notification requirements to include information about offender location and release, and adjusts the composition of the Victims Compensation Board. It also modifies restitution fund limits, clarifies when certain legal documents must be witnessed, and changes the minimum value for found property that requires notice. Furthermore, the bill establishes a framework for "rapid accountability dockets" in counties to expedite cases involving repeat offenders by providing dedicated resources and connecting individuals to services, with provisions for implementation, reporting, and eventual repeal of these dockets. Finally, it repeals laws concerning spendthrift guardianships and makes other miscellaneous procedural adjustments.
