This bill amends the definition of "survivor" in Section 595.010, RSMo. The bill also specifies that, in the case of death, a victim's survivor requiring counseling as a direct result of the death of the victim may apply for compensation in Missouri if certain factors are met. Currently, compensation may not exceed $400 per week and no award may exceed $25,000. This bill increases those amounts to up to $500 per week and no more than a total of $30,000.
