Concerning prohibiting an insurer from receiving restitution through the criminal restitution process.
Bill Summary:
For the purpose of criminal restitution, current law defines a "victim" as any person who has suffered losses because of a contractual relationship, including an insurer. The bill excludes an insurer from the definition of "victim" and instead authorizes an insurer to file a civil action against the offender to recover losses if the insurer has suffered because of a contractual relationship with the victim.
