AN ACT relating to crimes and punishments.

Summary

The bill changes Kentucky law so anyone convicted of a misdemeanor or felony for taking, injuring, or destroying property must restore the property or pay damages, even if restitution wasn’t part of probation. A verified petition filed within 90 days can ask the court to order restitution, and the defendant must appear to agree to a settlement or face a jury determining the amount. Victims can still bring a civil suit if restitution isn’t pursued.
