the bill. Using $6,500,000 in
lederal assistance, the new
law outlines a comprehen-sive
plan lor new and
expanded services to crime
victims in the state ol New
York.
"This new law will help
crime victims in dire need to
receive prompt assistance.
For example, elderly crime
victims can now receive
speedy reimbursement lor
the cost ol essential health
related items such as eye-glasses,
canes or wheel-c
h a i r s . Using some
$6,500,000 in ft^deral dol-lars.
the state is now able to
expedite the claims ol crime
victims," said Skelos, who
noted that hit and run vic-tims
of drunken drivers
wpuld now be given the
same rights to compensation
as the victims of other vio-lent
crimes.
Some of the new pro-grams
made available to
crime victims under this law
include:
• Counseling reimburse-ment
lor victims of sex
offenses and other traumatic
crimes.
• Shelter costs for the vic-tims
of domestic violence.
• Elimination of the phys-ical
injury requirement for
certain awards to disabled
victims.
• Extendingcompcnsa-tion
eligibility to the victims
of drunken drivers.
• Increased awards for
burial expenses, loss of earn-ings,
essential personal
property loss (such as eye-glasses,
canes and wheel-chairs).
• Allows awards for good
samaritans.
• Eliminates the 'needs
test' for claims under $500.
• Permits local victim
service programs to make
emergency awards to needy
victims.
The new law also stream-lines
the compensation
claims review process and
strengthens the authority of
the state to secure restitution
from the criminal defenant.
When 1 was elected 1
promised the sponsor tough
new anti-crime laws and leg-islation
which increased the
rights of crime victims. This
new law uses federal funds
to make it easier for the vic-tims
of crime to recoup their
losses. I am very pleased that

Marino, the prime mover
behind this legislation, and
my other colleagues in the
Senate Majority that we
were able to have this bill
