Summary
The bill requires the state health department to begin investigations of alleged unlicensed recovery facilities within 10 days and to complete them within 60 days, adds mandatory reporting of money transfers to detect illegal kickbacks, and lets prosecutors rely on the trial record when objecting to compensation claims. It also extends objection deadlines, bars compensation for people convicted of serious or violent felonies, and mandates that any restitution order be paid before a claimant receives compensation.
