IN SB0028

Requires governmental entities (state or political subdivisions) that are beneficiaries of criminal or juvenile restitution orders to file annual payment status reports with the issuing court and the state board of accounts

Payment status reports must include the original restitution amount, unpaid balance, name of person ordered to pay, whether payments are timely, and arrearage information if applicable

State board of accounts must review restitution order status when auditing governmental entities that are beneficiaries of such orders

Attorney general may sue to collect restitution orders more than one year in arrears when the state is the beneficiary; prosecuting attorneys may do the same for political subdivisions, with either able to retain up to 10% of recovered amounts for expenses

Courts may issue show cause orders, find non-compliant persons in contempt, or take other judicial actions to enforce restitution when payment status reports indicate failure to comply with court orders
