19-4805. Award of compensation, when; no rights conferred; civil immunity.
(a)Within the limits of revenues available to a local fund, a local board may award compensation for actual out of pocket economic loss arising from a property crime if the local board is satisfied by a preponderance of the evidence that the requirements for compensation have been met.
(b)Compensation from a local board is not a right, nor may this act be construed to confer a right upon anyone. Amounts awarded under this act, if any, are subject to the sole discretion of a majority vote of the local board. No person shall be civilly liable for any act or decision associated with the process of investigating, determining or recommending an amount of money to be awarded under this act unless such act or decision otherwise amounts to criminal conduct.
