HB 1783 - DIGEST

     Finds that citizens, through their government, are frequently unable to collect reimbursement from employees, officers, and contractors whose criminal conduct results in payment of public money to injured parties.

     Finds that this inability is a drain on public resources and  facilitates the avoidance of responsibility by those who engage in criminal conduct.

     Declares that the purpose of this act is to enable public entities on behalf of the citizens to obtain reimbursement from such employees, officers, and contractors.
