to Judiciary (H)
Summary
The bill amends Kentucky law so anyone convicted of a misdemeanor or felony involving property must restore the property or pay damages, even if restitution wasn’t part of probation. It gives victims a 90‑day window to petition the court for restitution, and the court can order payment, enforce collection, or send the case to a jury if the defendant contests it. The change does not affect a victim’s right to sue in civil court.
