AB 2809 (2008) c. 587

Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.

AB 2809, c. 587:  Crime victims; mental health counseling.  Authorizes the Victims Compensation and Government Claims Board to reimburse the cost of out-patient mental health counseling in an amount of not more than $5,000 for any minor who suffers emotional injury as a direct result of witnessing a violent crime and is not eligible for reimbursement of those costs under any other provision of law.  To be eligible for reimbursement for mental health counseling, the minor must have been in close proximity to the victim when the minor witnessed the crime.
