HOUSE BILL NO. 469
BY JUDICIARY, RULES AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
1 AN ACT
2 RELATING TO VICTIMS OF CRIMES; AMENDING CHAPTER 2, TITLE 5, IDAHO CODE, BY THE
3 ADDITION OF A NEW SECTION 5-247, IDAHO CODE, TO PROVIDE FOR A TOLLING OF
4 THE LIMITATIONS ON ACTIONS FOR VICTIMS OF CRIMES AND TO DEFINE THE TERM
5 "FULL SATISFACTION OF THE SENTENCE IMPOSED"; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE
6 DATE.
7 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
8 SECTION 1. That Chapter 2, Title 5, Idaho Code, be, and the same is
9 hereby amended by the addition thereto of a NEW SECTION, to be known and des-
10 ignated as Section 5-247, Idaho Code, and to read as follows:
11 5-247. VICTIMS OF CRIMES. (1) For the purpose of any civil action or pro-
12 ceeding brought by a victim of a crime against an offender who committed the
13 crime, for any losses incurred by the victim, which loss was proximately
14 caused by the crime, the limitation periods prescribed by this chapter shall
15 be tolled until one (1) year after the offender has been released from any
16 sentence of incarceration served for that crime and in full satisfaction of
17 the sentence imposed.
18 (2) For purposes of this section "full satisfaction of the sentence
19 imposed" means the full-term release date from incarceration for the crime
20 committed against the victim or the full-term release date from incarceration
21 for any other crime for which the offender is serving time concurrently with,
22 or consecutively to, time served for the crime against the victim, whichever
23 is later.
24 SECTION 2. This act shall be in full force and effect on and after July
25 1, 2000.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 09470C1
Victims of crime have often suffered damages as a result
of the criminal conduct of the perpetrator. This legislation
tolls the statute of limitations until one year after the
criminal has been released from prison. This would allow
the victim of the crime who has been harmed by the criminal
act additional time in which to file a civil action against
the perpetrator causing the victim damages.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact to the general fund of the State
of Idaho.
