On September 4, 2019, the remaining unclaimed restitution, referenced in the notice below, became the property of the County of Butte to benefit services associated with the District Attorney's Victim Witness Bureau.

7/5/19 -  The Central Collections Division of the Treasurer Tax Collector’s Department is currently holding $3061.78 in unclaimed court-ordered restitution payments to victims of crime in Butte County. The payments have been held in trust for more than three years and efforts by the Court, District Attorney's Office and Central Collections to contact the victims have been exhausted.  Government Code Section 50050 states that “Money representing restitution collected on behalf of victims shall be either deposited into the Restitution Fund or used by the local agency for purposes of victim services after expiration of the three-year period.”

Prior to utilizing the funds for victim services in Butte County, a final attempt was made to notify the victims through newspaper and website publications.
