OH SB318

Allows immediate family members of crime victims to receive reparations for psychiatric care and counseling, capped at $2,500 per family member and $7,500 aggregate per victim, for crimes involving homicide, sexual assault, domestic violence, or severe incapacitating injuries.

Expands the definition of "immediate family member" to include either individuals living in the same household as the victim who are related by affinity or consanguinity, or spouses, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, and grandchildren of the victim.

Removes the two-year filing deadline for minor victims of crime, allowing applications to be filed at any time after the criminally injurious conduct occurs instead of requiring filing within two years of the victim's eighteenth birthday.

Eliminates the requirement that a complaint, indictment, or information be filed against an alleged offender before a minor victim can apply for reparations.

Updates victim notification materials to reflect that reparations applications may be filed at any time after the occurrence of criminally injurious conduct, rather than within a specified timeframe.
