Amend the bill by striking out everything after the enacting clause and before the summary and inserting the following:
‘Sec. 1. 5 MRSA §3360-C, sub-§2, ¶B, as enacted by PL 1991, c. 806, §3, is amended to read:
 
B. To or on behalf of any person who violated a criminal law that caused or contributed to the injury or death for which compensation is sought, except when the person was the victim of a criminal homicide and the claimant was not involved in the criminal conduct.’
 
SUMMARY
This amendment replaces the bill. The amendment allows compensation from the Victims' Compensation Fund to a claimant for expenses when the victim is the victim of a criminal homicide and the claimant was not involved in the criminal conduct that caused or contributed to the death of the victim.
