More crime victims could receive money and help rebuilding their lives thanks to a bill that passed the Senate on Monday.

The bill, H.795, is designed to help the Center for Crime Victim Services plug an estimated $1.3 million budget gap by raising $376,000.

The gap is in part due to a decline in traffic ticket revenue, which fuels three funds that the center administers.

A 2013 study highlighted that and other reasons why the fund has lost money.

To help plug the budget gap, the House appropriated $630,000 from the state’s General Fund to the center and the center made $300,000 in cuts, according to Judy Rex, the center’s executive director.

The bill also includes a one-year agreement on the center’s method for reimbursing hospitals for rape exams. The cost of those exams has increased but the center found that many victims choose not to use their insurance to cover the cost because of privacy concerns.

The center and the hospitals plan to work on a permanent solution next year.

The bill also includes an unrelated amendment from the Senate Judiciary Committee allowing anyone exonerated from a crime to be eligible for compensation.
