§ 1-40-301 — Compensation from benefits of crime

The legislature finds that the state has a compelling interest
in preventing any person who is convicted of a criminal act from
profiting from the criminal act and in recompensing victims of
the criminal act. It is therefore the intent of the legislature
to provide a mechanism whereby any profits from a criminal act
that are received by the person convicted of the criminal act
are available as restitution to the victims of the criminal act.
