THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 631 of the executive law, as
amended by section 22 of part A-1 of chapter 56 of the laws of 2010, is
amended to read as follows:
1. No award shall be made unless the office finds that (a) a crime was
committed, (b) such crime directly resulted in personal physical injury
to or the exacerbation of a preexisting disability, or condition, or
death of, the victim, and (c) criminal justice agency records show that
such crime was promptly reported to the proper authorities; and in no
case may an award be made where the criminal justice agency records show
that such report was made more than one week after the occurrence of
such crime unless the office, for good cause shown, finds the delay to
have been justified[; provided, however]. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING
PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBDIVISION, in cases involving an alleged sex
offense as contained in article one hundred thirty of the penal law or
incest as defined in section 255.25, 255.26 or 255.27 of the penal law
or labor trafficking as defined in section 135.35 of the penal law or
sex trafficking as defined in section 230.34 of the penal law or an
offense chargeable as a family offense as described in section eight
hundred twelve of the family court act or section 530.11 of the criminal
procedure law, the criminal justice agency report need only be made
within a reasonable time considering all the circumstances, including
the victim's physical, emotional and mental condition and family situ-
ation. For the purposes of this subdivision, "criminal justice agency"
shall include, but not be limited to, a police department, a district
attorney's office, and any other governmental agency having responsibil-
ity for the enforcement of the criminal laws of the state provided,
however, that in cases involving such sex offense OR FAMILY OFFENSE a
