2021 Colorado Code|Title 24 - Government - State|Article 4.1 - Crime Victim Compensation and Victim and Witness Rights|Part 1 - Crime Victim Compensation Act|§ 24-4.1-106. Hearings

  The board, in its discretion, may conduct a hearing upon any application submitted to it. All hearings conducted by the board and appeals therefrom shall be held pursuant to sections 24-4-105 and 24-4-106.    The burden of proof is upon the applicant to show that the claim is reasonable and is compensable under the terms of this part 1. The standard of proof is by a preponderance of the evidence.    If a person has been convicted of an offense with respect to an act on which a claim is based, proof of that conviction shall be taken as conclusive evidence that the offense has been committed, unless an appeal or a proceeding with regard to it is pending. The fact that the identity of the assailant is unknown or that the assailant has not been prosecuted or convicted shall not raise a presumption that the claim is invalid.    Orders and decisions of the board are final.    Review of an order or decision of the board may be made in accordance with the Colorado rules of civil procedure.

Because the general assembly did not include specific language prohibiting a CVCB from paying a claimant for wages that will be lost after the date of the CVCB's payments, the general assembly did not intend to prohibit the payment of future lost wages.
