Approved Guidelines for Expenditures of Monies Collected for

Crime Victim Service in Municipalities and Counties

Effective October 4, 2018

The following is a list of approved expenditures of crime victims’ funds retained by county

and municipal governments pursuant to Sections 14-1-206, 14-1-207, 14-1-208, and 14-1-211

exclusively for the purpose of providing victim services; including but not limited to:

1. Personnel, salaries/ benefits, performing direct services to crime victims (Victim Advocates

courts);

2. Automobiles shall be used solely by the Victim Service Provider (VSP) for providing direct

victim services to crime victims if purchased out of the Victim Assistance Fines, Fees and

In order to replace the vehicle purchased out of the fund, the vehicle is required to fall under

one of the two categories noted below:

Category A: Vehicle is required to be “deadlined” by the county or municipal/town

mechanic listing the vehicles’ safety issues

Category B: The vehicle has reached a minimum of 125,000 miles

The county or municipality are required to 1) sell the old vehicle that was replaced, 2) show

and maintain documentation regarding the sale price, and 3) prove that the proceeds were

deposited back into the Victim Assistance Fines, Fees and Assessment Fund.

If there are Time and Activity Forms involved, please note that the full price of the vehicle

cannot be paid out of the fund if the time and activity sheets do not verify full time

employment of the advocate providing direct services to crime victims. In such a case, the

county or municipality is required to apply the percentage of the employee’s time (that the

auditing department has provided via Time and Activity Forms received) towards the total

cost of the vehicle. This percentage will be the only amount that will be paid from the Victim

Assistance Fines, Fees and Assessment Fund towards the purchase of a new vehicle.

approval process. Both Sworn and Civilian Law Enforcement Victim Advocates are

eligible for vests funded with Act 141 revenue, subject to the conditions below.

Act 141 funds may not be used to purchase vests if they would supplant existing local

funding that was previously used for this purpose.

Should vests be purchased, they must be (1) gender specific, (2) individually sized to the

wearer, (3) be rated at Threat Level II or III but not be of “tactical” or special operations

grade, (4) the vests must be new purchases, not used, and a brand approved under current

FBI standards, (5) used within their manufacturer’s certification dates and then replaced,

and (6) the use of the vests by either Sworn or Civilian LEVAs must conform to individual

agency policy regarding the circumstances of use.

Procedural Guidelines for Towing effective February 8, 2019

Summary: Victims of crime can be faced with substantial costs when their vehicle must be

towed or stored in an impoundment lot due to a related victimization. Examples include victims

of carjacking, crashes caused by DUI offenders, hit and run crimes involving a vehicle, or the theft

of a vehicle. Particularly for persons with limited means who may have high insurance

deductibles, the cost of regaining what may be their only means of transportation can be crucial to

their employment, their children’s schooling, medical appointments and overall safety.

Guidelines for the use of Act 141 funds for towing and/or

vehicle impoundment involving eligible victims of crime:

Act 141 funds may be used for the payment of vehicle towing expenses or the fees charged

by an impoundment lot for eligible crime victims (referred to as “towing / impoundment

services”).

Prior to using Act 141 funds to pay for the towing of crime victims’ vehicles, the

county/municipality is required to have written policies and procedures in place as to the

criteria and processing of reimbursement to eligible victims.

In order for a county or municipality to provide reimbursement for towing and

impoundment costs of eligible crime victims, they must first include these costs in their

budget for Act 141 funds and show such an item on their annual budget reports.

Counties/municipalities are required to document towing/impoundment reimbursement

including the type of criminal case associated with each use of the funds, the number of

cases, and the amount of money spent for each towing service. Also, they must maintain

this documentation for accountability and auditing purposes.

Act 141 funds may not be given directly to crime victims for towing/impoundment fees;

funds shall be paid directly to the vendor providing the service unless there is a

reimbursement to the victim for out of pocket expenses and with proper documentation.

A law enforcement incident report is required in order for victims to be considered for

reimbursement for towing/impoundment.

Use of these funds for towing/impoundment must be considered as a last resort after any

reimbursement by the victim’s insurance

If victims’ insurance covers towing expenses but deductibles must be paid, then the fund

may pay the deductible directly to the service provider. If the victim provides

documentation they paid out of pocket for the insurance deductible, Act 141 funds may be

used to reimburse the victim directly.

Approved Guidelines for Expenditures of Monies Collected

for Crime Victim Service in Municipalities and Counties

Towing Continued:

If the victim’s vehicle is stolen and the victim did not have car insurance or the legal right

to drive (license suspension, no driver’s license, or other issues precluding the victim from

having the legal right to drive or own the vehicle), the funds may not be used for

towing/impoundment fees.

The county or municipality may use their discretion to determine if the victim’s illegal

conduct contributed to the crime, which would preclude the reimbursement of

towing/impoundment fees with Act 141 funds.

There must be an eligible criminal offense impacting a crime victim in order to pay for

towing/impoundment fees from the funds.

Act 141 Funds may be used for victims of the following crimes: (including the attempted commission of crimes)

1. Murder, manslaughter (§16-3-10 et. seq.)

2. Assault and Battery (§16-3-600, et. seq.)

3. Criminal Sexual Conduct (§16-3-651, et. seq.)

4. Kidnapping (§16-3-910)

5. Trafficking in Persons (§16-3-2020)

6. Armed Robbery (§16-11-330 et. seq.)

7. Carjacking (§16-3-1075)

8. Domestic Violence (§16-25-65, et. seq.)

9. Boating Under the Influence Resulting in Death (§50-21-113(A)(2))

10. Hit and Run (§56-5-1210 et. seq.)

11. Car Theft

12. Reckless Homicide; Reckless Driving; Driving While Under the Influence (§56, Article 23) Section 56-5-2930; Section 56-5-2933; Section 56-5-2945;
