II. REDEFINING THE TERM PRINCIPAL SUPPORT FOR PERSONS DEPENDENT UPON VICTIMS WHO DIE AS A DIRECT RESULT OF A CRIME

WHEREAS, Executive Law section 624, paragraph (c) of subdivision 1, requires certain persons to prove dependence upon a victim for principal support in order to obtain an award for lost earnings or support from the Crime Victims Board (the "Board");
