MI HB4675

Extends the statute of limitations for filing crime victim compensation claims based on criminal sexual conduct from 5 years after the crime to 5 years after the crime was reported, if the victim was under 18 at the time and reported before age 28.

Allows claims for criminal sexual conduct to be filed within 5 years after the victim turns 28 if the victim was under 18 at the time of the crime and shows good cause for delayed reporting.

Permits claims to be filed within 5 years after law enforcement discovers that previously classified accidental, unknown, or natural cause injuries were actually crime-related.

Requires the Crime Victim Compensation Commission to issue determinations on individual expenses or losses as sufficient documentation is received, rather than requiring complete documentation for all claims before processing any portion.

Takes effect August 12, 2023 and applies to all claims submitted on or after the effective date.
