                          BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
                   (Executive Budget: pp. 303-306)


The Crime Victims Board (CVB) awards compensatory damages to victims
of crime, focusing mainly on those whose victimization was violent in
nature.  Damages are awarded to victims for loss of earnings,
essential personal property loss, and medical and counseling expenses
incurred.  CVB also provides grants to local agencies, which assist
witnesses and victims, and serves as the State's advocate for crime
victims rights, needs, and interests.  

The Crime Victims Board is in the Public Protection and General
Government appropriation bill.

The Executive recommends an All Funds appropriation of $66,997,000,
an increase of $6,280,085 from State Fiscal Year 2001-02.

State Operations

During State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2002-03, $5,600,000 in an All Funds
appropriation is proposed to support agency operations.  

The Executive recommends a General Fund State Operations appropriation
of $3,299,000, a decrease of $91,115, which is attributable to a
hiring freeze, the reduction of two positions through attrition in SFY
2002-03 and the transfer of certain administrative functions to the
Division of Criminal Justice Services.

Aid to Localities

The Executive recommends an overall Aid to Localities appropriation
of $61,397,000, an increase of $6,308,000.  This increase is
attributable to a $2,308,300 increase in Federal Special Revenue Funds
as well as a $4,000,000 increase in State Special Revenue Funds from
fines levied against offenders.  These funds will support compensation
payments to victims and local grants to programs assisting victims
with treatment and other services.
