Kan. Admin. Regs. § 20-2-6 - Failure to properly report criminally injurious conduct

(a) To be eligible for an award of compensation, each victim shall report any criminally injurious conduct resulting in injury or death to a law enforcement officer within 72 hours after its occurrence. Subject to the restrictions of K.S.A. 74-7305, as amended, this rule may be waived by the board if the board finds that there was good cause for the failure to timely report.

(b) The following factors may be considered by the board in determining the existence of good cause:

(1) The physical, emotional and mental condition of the victim;

(2) the nature and circumstances of the crime;

(3) the victim's family situation at the time of the criminally injurious conduct;

(4) the earliest point at which the criminally injurious conduct could reasonably have been reported;

(5) the victim's good faith belief that a timely report had been made to the appropriate law enforcement officials or agency; or

(6) whether the victim was a minor at the time of an offense specified in K.S.A. 74-7305(b) and the report was made within the statute of limitations for prosecution of the offense.
