AI Summary
This bill aims to recover assets that were used in the commission of sexual offenses by amending existing laws. Specifically, it makes individuals convicted of certain sexual offenses (sections 22-24C, 50, or 51 of chapter 265 of the General Laws) ineligible to receive any remaining lottery prize money, with any undistributed funds being returned to the State Lottery and Gaming Fund. Additionally, the bill allows for the forfeiture of money furnished or intended to be furnished in exchange for forced labor, services, or sexual servitude, as well as money used or intended to be used to facilitate these specific sexual offenses, with these forfeited funds to be made available for victim restitution. The bill also updates the title and provisions related to property forfeiture stemming from these sexual offenses, clarifying that money received from the Commonwealth, including lottery prizes, that was used or intended to facilitate such violations is subject to forfeiture.
