relating to crime victims; authorizing a victim's estate to request or enforce an

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:
Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 611A.04, is amended by adding a
subdivision to read:
new text begin
If a victim dies before or after a request for restitution is
made or an order for restitution is issued, the personal representative of the victim's estate
may request or enforce an order for restitution on behalf of the victim. If a personal
representative is not appointed and no application is pending, an heir of the victim may
file an affidavit to request or enforce an order for restitution pursuant to this subdivision.
Appointment of a personal representative does not affect the right of other victims, as
defined in section 611A.01, to request an order for restitution on their behalf.
