MR. SPEAKER:

    I move that Engrossed Senate Bill 445 be amended to read as follows:

    Page 7, between lines 15 and 16, begin a new paragraph and insert:
    SECTION 1. IC 5-2-6.1-35.5 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS A NEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 10, 1999 (RETROACTIVE)]: Sec. 35.5.     (a) If:
        (1) at least two (2) claimants suffer injuries or damages based on the same violent crime;
        (2) the injuries and damages suffered and the rationale for awarding money to the claimants under this chapter are substantially similar for all the claimants; and
        (3) at least one (1) of the claimants receives a greater award from the division under this chapter than any of the other claimants;
all of the claimants are eligible to receive an amount of money under this chapter that is equal to the highest award received by any of the claimants under this chapter.
    (b) If a claimant believes the claimant is eligible to receive additional money from the fund as described in subsection (a), the claimant may file an application under this section with the division to receive the additional money for which the claimant is eligible.
    Renumber all SECTIONS consecutively.
