Section 15-18-67 Restitution hearing; order of restitution; persons entitled to be heard. When
a defendant is convicted of a criminal activity or conduct which has resulted in pecuniary
damages or loss to a victim, the court shall hold a hearing to determine the amount or type
of restitution due the victim or victims of such defendant's criminal acts. Such restitution
hearings shall be held as a matter of course and in addition to any other sentence which it
may impose, the court shall order that the defendant make restitution or otherwise compensate
such victim for any pecuniary damages. The defendant, the victim or victims, or their representatives
or the administrator of any victim's estate as well as the district attorney shall have the
right to be present and be heard upon the issue of restitution at any such hearings. (Acts
1980, No. 80-588, p. 928, §3.)...

Section 15-18-75 Civil action by victim of crime; credit for restitution paid. Nothing in this
article limits or impairs the right of a person injured by a defendant's criminal activities
to sue or recover damages from the defendant in a civil action. Evidence that the defendant
has paid or has been ordered to pay restitution pursuant to this article may not be introduced
in any civil action arising out of the facts or events which were the basis for the restitution.
However, the court shall credit any restitution paid by the defendant to a victim against
any judgment in favor of the victim in such civil action. If conviction in a criminal trial
necessarily decides the issue of a defendant's liability for pecuniary damages for a victim,
that issue is conclusively determined as to the defendant, if it is involved in a subsequent
civil action. (Acts 1980, No. 80-588, p. 928, §11.)...

Section 15-22-1.1 Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision. Whereas: The Interstate
Compact for the Supervision of Parolees and Probationers was established in 1937, it is the
earliest corrections "compact" established among the states and has not been amended
since its adoption over 62 years ago; Whereas: This compact is the only vehicle for the controlled
movement of adult parolees and probationers across state lines, and it currently has jurisdiction
over more than a quarter of a million offenders; Whereas: The complexities of the compact
have become more difficult to administer, and many jurisdictions have expanded supervision
expectations to include currently unregulated practices such as victim input, victim notification
requirements, and sex offender registration; Whereas: After hearings, national surveys, and
a detailed study by a task force appointed by the National Institute of Corrections, the overwhelming
recommendation has been to amend the document to bring about...
