Compilation of Rules and Regulations of the State of Georgia Department 143 - RULES OF CRIME VICTIMS COMPENSATION BOARD
Here’s a detailed overview of the Compilation of Rules and Regulations of the State of Georgia – Department 143: Rules of Crime Victims Compensation Board:
📘 Department 143: Rules of Crime Victims Compensation Board
🔹 Chapter 143‑1 – Administration
Consists of Rules 143‑1‑.01 through .13.
All rules (143‑1‑.01 to .13) are currently repealed under authority of O.C.G.A. § 17‑15‑4 (law.cornell.edu).
Historical notes indicate:
The chapter was originally adopted on February 6, 1991, effective February 26, 1991, with amendments in 2000 and 2002 (rules.sos.state.ga.us).
On June 30, 2015, Rules 143-1‑.01 through .09 were repealed, effective July 20, 2015 (rules.sos.state.ga.us).
Further repeals ensued, clearing the entire chapter by early 2025 (regulations.justia.com).
⚖️ Statutory Authority & Current Status
Authority comes from O.C.G.A. § 17‑15‑4, which governs the Georgia Crime Victims Compensation Board (rules.sos.georgia.gov).
Despite the full repeal of administrative rules, the Board still operates under statutory law (O.C.G.A.), managing claims for reimbursements to crime victims for expenses such as:
Medical costs
Counseling
Funeral expenses

✅ What This Means Practically
There are currently no active administrative rules in Chapter 143‑1—everything has been repealed.
Victim compensation continues under Georgia law (O.C.G.A.) and by Board policy, not by formal Chapter 143 regulations.
To understand current processes, eligibility, timelines, or claim limits, one should reference:
The Official Code of Georgia Annotated (Title 17, Chapter 15), and/or
Policy and procedural guidance published by the Georgia Crime Victims Compensation Board (likely found via the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council or PACGA).
