Colorado Revised Statutes Title 16. Criminal Proceedings § 16-11-101.7. Repayment of crime stopper reward--crime stopper reward reimbursement fund--created

(1) In addition to any other penalty authorized by law, after a defendant has been convicted of or entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony offense, or enters into a plea bargain agreement concerning a felony offense which is reduced to a misdemeanor pursuant to such agreement, the court may order such defendant to repay all or part of any reward paid by a crime stopper organization that led to the defendant's arrest and conviction. The amount of such repayment may not exceed the actual reward paid by any crime stopper organization and shall be used solely for paying rewards.

(3) All moneys collected by the court pursuant to this section, together with transmittal information which includes the court's docket number, the defendant's name, and the crime stopper organization which is designated to receive the repayment of reward, shall be promptly forwarded to the division of criminal justice created by section 24-33.5-502, C.R.S. Upon receipt, the division of criminal justice shall promptly transmit the moneys to the state treasurer who shall deposit them in the crime stopper reward reimbursement fund which is hereby created. Moneys in the fund shall be continuously appropriated to the division of criminal justice for the purposes of this section. The disbursement of any such moneys to the designated crime stopper organization shall be made by the division of criminal justice within thirty-five days after the date of deposit in the crime stopper reward reimbursement fund.

(4) As used in this section, “crime stopper organization” has the same meaning as provided in section 16-15.7-102(1).
