(a) When moneys are to be distributed pursuant to subsection (b) of K.S.A. 74-7320, and amendments thereto, the victim of the crime, and the victim's dependents, heirs, representatives or assignees, may apply to the crime victims compensation board for compensation for losses arising from the convicted person's crime. To the extent that moneys received by the board pursuant to K.S.A. 74-7319, and amendments thereto, are sufficient, such compensation shall be in an amount equal to the applicant's actual loss, as determined by the board, less any restitution paid pursuant to order of a court or order of the prisoner review board and any compensation paid by the crime victims compensation board pursuant to K.S.A. 74-7301 et seq., and amendments thereto. If moneys received by the board pursuant to K.S.A. 74-7319, and amendments thereto, are not sufficient to pay compensation as otherwise provided under this subsection (a), such moneys shall be prorated among all applicants eligible to receive compensation for losses arising from the convicted person's crime on the basis that the amount each applicant is entitled to receive under this subsection (a) bears to the total amount all such applicants would be entitled to receive under this subsection (a).
(b) The limitations provided by K.S.A. 74-7301 et seq., and amendments thereto, shall not apply to compensation paid pursuant to this section.
(c) The crime victims compensation board shall adopt such rules and regulations as necessary to administer the provisions of K.S.A. 74-7319, 74-7320 and 74-7321, and amendments thereto.
