AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Division of Victim Compensation and Assistance to monitor profits from criminal activities of incarcerated persons. It requires any party that contracts to pay a defendant consideration that may be proceeds of a crime to submit the contract to the Division. The Division will then determine if the proceeds are substantially related to the crime, and if so, hold a bond equal to the proceeds to satisfy any civil judgments obtained by victims. The bill also tolls the statute of limitations for torts against a criminal defendant by the victim during the defendant's incarceration, parole, or probation.
