If I could just kindly ask counsel....
One of the key suggestions made by the author of the bill and legislative counsel was that priorities should not be affected by virtue of this bill. In other words, in the event that the court indeed orders some sort of restitution, the proposal was that the direct victim of a crime would be a recipient of restitution in priority to any of the organizations listed in the bill. I also understand, in terms of the suggestion behind the amendment, that it maintains such priority.
Could you kindly point me to the actual amendment that preserves priority for victims as opposed to community organizations?
