WASHINGTON <\/strong>\u2013 U.S. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and U.S. Representatives Harriet Hageman (WY-At-Large) and Lucy McBath (GA-07) released the following statements after their Eficacia de la Ley sobre la voz de las v\u00edctimas dentro y fuera de los tribunales (Victims’ VOICES)<\/em>, which would ensure family members, legal guardians, and those appointed by the court who act on behalf of a victim during certain criminal court case proceedings receive restitution from convicted defendants for costs like transportation, lost income, and childcare that they incur, passed the Senate: <\/p>\n

\u201cFamily members of violent crime victims, including children and those who have died, should be reimbursed for the financial burden they take on to achieve justice for their loved ones,\u201d<\/em> said Sen. Cornyn. \u201cThis legislation would make victims\u2019 representatives whole by ensuring they receive restitution from convicted criminals, and I urge my colleagues in the House to pass it without delay.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n

\u201cVictims and their loved ones face tremendous hardship in the aftermath of violent crimes, and costly fees incurred while seeking justice only add to this stress,\u201d<\/em> said Sen. Blumenthal. \u201cThe Victims\u2019 Voices Outside and Inside the Courtroom Effectiveness Act ensures that those acting on behalf of victims receive fair and full compensation, lightening the burden for victims and their families and making it easier to fully access justice. I look forward to swift passage of this critical legislation in the House.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

“La ley federal obliga a los condenados por determinados delitos a indemnizar a sus v\u00edctimas, ayud\u00e1ndoles a cubrir gastos necesarios como la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica”, <\/em>declar\u00f3 el senador Blackburn..<\/em> \u201cHowever, that is not the case for a person assuming the rights of a victim who is a minor, deceased or unable to act for themselves. This is important legislation to ensure all victims receive the justice they deserve.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe road to recovery after a violent crime can be costly for both victims and their loved ones who support them,\u201d<\/em> said Sen. Whitehouse. \u201cOur bipartisan legislation would expand restitution coverage to ensure families of victims are financially supported while holding perpetrators accountable and seeking justice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud to introduce this bicameral, bipartisan legislation which clarifies Congressional intent in the wake of harmful judicial interpretations,\u201d<\/em> said Rep. Hageman. “Al garantizar que una persona que asume los derechos de una v\u00edctima pueda optar a la restituci\u00f3n, reforzaremos la capacidad de atender a las v\u00edctimas y de llevar plenamente ante la justicia a quienes les hicieron da\u00f1o. Tratar a las v\u00edctimas con justicia y compasi\u00f3n deber\u00eda ser un concepto un\u00e1nime y espero con impaciencia que la ley Victims’ VOICES Act se convierta en ley.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe devastation and hardship in the aftermath of a crime can have ripple effects across a victim\u2019s entire support network. Parents and guardians may face significant challenges of their own when assisting a loved one as they seek to heal from a traumatic event,\u201d<\/em> said Rep. McBath. \u201cI am proud to see this important bill pass the Senate. We are one step closer to ensuring that a parent, guardian, or court-appointed individual is guaranteed eligibility for restitution if they must assume the rights of the victim they are supporting.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Antecedentes:<\/u><\/p>\n

The Mandatory Victims Restitution Act<\/em>, which was signed into law in 1996, requires defendants convicted of certain crimes, including violent crimes, to pay restitution to their victims. La restituci\u00f3n puede cubrir una serie de gastos, entre ellos los de transporte, p\u00e9rdida de ingresos y cuidado de los hijos en los que se haya incurrido al participar en la investigaci\u00f3n o el enjuiciamiento del delito, as\u00ed como la atenci\u00f3n y el tratamiento m\u00e9dicos y no m\u00e9dicos y los gastos asociados. En caso de que la v\u00edctima sea menor de edad, haya fallecido, est\u00e9 incapacitada o no sea capaz de actuar en su propio nombre, un familiar, un tutor legal o una persona designada por el tribunal puede “asumir” los derechos de la v\u00edctima.<\/p>\n

En muchas jurisdicciones, se ha impedido que las personas que act\u00faan en nombre de una v\u00edctima reciban restituci\u00f3n por su propia p\u00e9rdida de ingresos, transporte, cuidado de ni\u00f1os y otros gastos. Esto impone una dificultad significativa al representante de la v\u00edctima y una barrera a la reivindicaci\u00f3n de los derechos de la v\u00edctima. La Ley de la VOZ de las V\u00edctimas<\/em> modificar\u00eda la legislaci\u00f3n vigente para aclarar que una persona que act\u00fae en nombre de una v\u00edctima tiene derecho a recibir una restituci\u00f3n por los gastos asociados a su participaci\u00f3n en la investigaci\u00f3n o el enjuiciamiento del delito, su asistencia a los procedimientos judiciales relacionados o su transporte para que la v\u00edctima reciba servicios m\u00e9dicos, terap\u00e9uticos, de rehabilitaci\u00f3n o de otro tipo.<\/p>\n

This legislation is endorsed by the National District Attorneys Association, Raven, National Children\u2019s Alliance, Major County Sheriffs of America, the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN), National Native American Law Enforcement Association, and the National Organization for Victim Advocacy (NOVA).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"author":20,"template":"","news-type":[161],"issues":[177],"class_list":["post-44350","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry","news-type-press-releases-es-mx","issues-crime-law-enforcement-es-mx"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCornyn, Colleagues\u2019 Bill to Ensure Crime Victims\u2019 Representatives Receive Restitution Passes Senate -
