Compensation for Individuals Erroneously Convicted - County Cost-Sharing - Repeal

Summary

The bill eliminates the current rule that counties must cover half of the monetary awards given to people who were mistakenly convicted. Under the revised law, the state will bear the full cost of compensation and related benefits. This change shifts the financial burden entirely to the state and removes the county payment schedule and penalties.
