The Attorney General shall—
(1)
study and evaluate the manner in which the States have taken measures to protect the confidentiality of communications between sexual assault or domestic violence victims and their therapists or trained counselors;
(2)
develop model legislation that will provide the maximum protection possible for the confidentiality of such communications, within any applicable constitutional limits, taking into account the following factors:

the danger that counseling programs for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence will be unable to achieve their goal of helping victims recover from the trauma associated with these crimes if there is no assurance that the records of the counseling sessions will be kept confidential;
(B)
consideration of the appropriateness of an absolute privilege for communications between victims of sexual assault or domestic violence and their therapists or trained counselors, in light of the likelihood that such an absolute privilege will provide the maximum guarantee of confidentiality but also in light of the possibility that such an absolute privilege may be held to violate the rights of criminal defendants under the Federal or State constitutions by denying them the opportunity to obtain exculpatory evidence and present it at trial; and
(C)
consideration of what limitations on the disclosure of confidential communications between victims of these crimes and their counselors, short of an absolute privilege, are most likely to ensure that the counseling programs will not be undermined, and specifically whether no such disclosure should be allowed unless, at a minimum, there has been a particularized showing by a criminal defendant of a compelling need for records of such communications, and adequate procedural safeguards are in place to prevent unnecessary or damaging disclosures; and
(3)
prepare and disseminate to State authorities the findings made and model legislation developed as a result of the study and evaluation.
(b)

Report and Recommendations.—

Pursuant to the affirmative power of Congress to enact this subtitle under section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, as well as under section 8 of Article I of the Constitution, it is the purpose of this subtitle to protect the civil rights of victims of gender motivated violence and to promote public safety, health, and activities affecting interstate commerce by establishing a Federal civil rights cause of action for victims of crimes of violence motivated by gender.
(b)

Right To Be Free From Crimes of Violence.—
All persons within the United States shall have the right to be free from crimes of violence motivated by gender (as defined in subsection (d)).
(c)

Cause of Action.—
A person (including a person who acts under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage of any State) who commits a crime of violence motivated by gender and thus deprives another of the right declared in subsection (b) shall be liable to the party injured, in an action for the recovery of compensatory and punitive damages, injunctive and declaratory relief, and such other relief as a court may deem appropriate.
(d)

Definitions.—
For purposes of this section—

the term “crime of violence motivated by gender” means a crime of violence committed because of gender or on the basis of gender, and due, at least in part, to an animus based on the victim's gender; and
(2)
the term “crime of violence” means 14—
^{14}
So in original. The word “means” probably should appear after “(A)” below.
(A)
an act or series of acts that would constitute a felony against the person or that would constitute a felony against property if the conduct presents a serious risk of physical injury to another, and that would come within the meaning of State or Federal offenses described in section 16 of title 18, United States Code, whether or not those acts have actually resulted in criminal charges, prosecution, or conviction and whether or not those acts were committed in the special maritime, territorial, or prison jurisdiction of the United States; and

No prior criminal action.—
Nothing in this section requires a prior criminal complaint, prosecution, or conviction to establish the elements of a cause of action under subsection (c).
(3)

Concurrent jurisdiction.—

(4)

Supplemental jurisdiction.—
Neither section 1367 of title 28, United States Code, nor subsection (c) of this section shall be construed, by reason of a claim arising under such subsection, to confer on the courts of the United States jurisdiction over any State law claim seeking the establishment of a divorce, alimony, equitable distribution of marital property, or child custody decree.
SEC. 40304.

SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING PROTECTION OF THE PRIVACY OF RAPE VICTIMS.

Strengthening America's Families by Preventing Violence Against Women and Children
SEC. 41301.
[34 U.S.C. 12461]

FINDINGS.
Congress finds that—
(1)
the former United States Advisory Board on Child Abuse suggests that domestic violence may be the single major precursor to child abuse and neglect fatalities in this country;
(2)
studies suggest that as many as 10,000,000 children witness domestic violence every year;
(3)
studies suggest that among children and teenagers, recent exposure to violence in the home was a significant factor in predicting a child's violent behavior;
(4)
a study by the Nurse-Family Partnership found that children whose parents did not participate in home visitation programs that provided coaching in parenting skills, advice and support, were almost 5 times more likely to be abused in their first 2 years of life;
(5)
a child's exposure to domestic violence seems to pose the greatest independent risk for being the victim of any act of partner violence as an adult;
(6)
children exposed to domestic violence are more likely to believe that using violence is an effective means of getting one's needs met and managing conflict in close relationships;
(7)
children exposed to abusive parenting, harsh or erratic discipline, or domestic violence are at increased risk for juvenile crime; and
(8)
in a national survey of more than 6,000 American families, 50 percent of men who frequently assaulted their wives also frequently abused their children.

Subtitle N—

Addressing the Housing Needs of Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking
CHAPTER 1—

GRANT PROGRAMS
SEC. 41401.
[34 U.S.C. 12471]

FINDINGS.
Congress finds that:
(1)
There is a strong link between domestic violence and homelessness. Among cities surveyed, 44 percent identified domestic violence as a primary cause of homelessness.
(2)
Ninety-two percent of homeless women have experienced severe physical or sexual abuse at some point in their lives. Of all homeless women and children, 60 percent had been abused by age 12, and 63 percent have been victims of intimate partner violence as adults.
(3)
Women and families across the country are being discriminated against, denied access to, and even evicted from public and subsidized housing because of their status as victims of domestic violence.
(4)
A recent survey of legal service providers around the country found that these providers have responded to almost 150 documented eviction cases in the last year alone where the tenant was evicted because of the domestic violence crimes committed against her. In addition, nearly 100 clients were denied housing because of their status as victims of domestic violence.
(5)
Women who leave their abusers frequently lack adequate emergency shelter options. The lack of adequate emergency options for victims presents a serious threat to their safety and the safety of their children. Requests for emergency shelter by homeless women with children increased by 78 percent of United States cities surveyed in 2004. In the same year, 32 percent of the requests for shelter by homeless families went unmet due to the lack of available emergency shelter beds.
(6)
The average stay at an emergency shelter is 60 days, while the average length of time it takes a homeless family to secure housing is 6 to 10 months.
(7)
Victims of domestic violence often return to abusive partners because they cannot find long-term housing.
(8)
There are not enough Federal housing rent vouchers available to accommodate the number of people in need of long-term housing. Some people remain on the waiting list for Federal housing rent vouchers for years, while some lists are closed.
(9)
Transitional housing resources and services provide an essential continuum between emergency shelter provision and independent living. A majority of women in transitional housing programs stated that had these programs not existed, they would have likely gone back to abusive partners.
(10)
Because abusers frequently manipulate finances in an effort to control their partners, victims often lack steady income, credit history, landlord references, and a current address, all of which are necessary to obtain long-term permanent housing.
(11)
Victims of domestic violence in rural areas face additional barriers, challenges, and unique circumstances, such as geographical isolation, poverty, lack of public transportation systems, shortages of health care providers, under-insurance or lack of health insurance, difficulty ensuring confidentiality in small communities, and decreased access to many resources (such as advanced education, job opportunities, and adequate childcare).
(12)
Congress and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development have recognized in recent years that families experiencing domestic violence have unique needs that should be addressed by those administering the Federal housing programs.

PURPOSE.
The purpose of this chapter is to reduce domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and to prevent homelessness by—
(1)
protecting the safety of victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking who reside in homeless shelters, public housing, assisted housing, tribally designated housing, or other emergency, transitional, permanent, or affordable housing, and ensuring that such victims have meaningful access to the criminal justice system without jeopardizing such housing;
(2)
creating long-term housing solutions that develop communities and provide sustainable living solutions for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking;
(3)
building collaborations among victim service providers, homeless service providers, housing providers, and housing agencies to provide appropriate services, interventions, and training to address the housing needs of victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking; and
(4)
enabling public and assisted housing agencies, tribally designated housing entities, private landlords, property management companies, and other housing providers and agencies to respond appropriately to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, while maintaining a safe environment for all housing residents.

“§ 3593.

Special hearing to determine whether a sentence of death is justified
“(a)

Notice by the Government.—
If, in a case involving an offense described in section 3591, the attorney for the government believes that the circumstances of the offense are such that a sentence of death is justified under this chapter, the attorney shall, a reasonable time before the trial or before acceptance by the court of a plea of guilty, sign and file with the court, and serve on the defendant, a notice—
“(1)
stating that the government believes that the circumstances of the offense are such that, if the defendant is convicted, a sentence of death is justified under this chapter and that the government will seek the sentence of death; and
“(2)
setting forth the aggravating factor or factors that the government, if the defendant is convicted, proposes to prove as justifying a sentence of death.
The factors for which notice is provided under this subsection may include factors concerning the effect of the offense on the victim and the victim's family, and may include oral testimony, a victim impact statement that identifies the victim of the offense and the extent and scope of the injury and loss suffered by the victim and the victim's family, and any other relevant information. The court may permit the attorney for the government to amend the notice upon a showing of good cause.
“(b)

Hearing Before a Court or Jury.—
If the attorney for the government has filed a notice as required under subsection (a) and the defendant is found guilty of or pleads guilty to an offense described in section 3591, the judge who presided at the trial or before whom the guilty plea was entered, or another judge if that judge is unavailable, shall conduct a separate sentencing hearing to determine the punishment to be imposed. The hearing shall be conducted—
“(1)
before the jury that determined the defendant's guilt;
“(2)
before a jury impaneled for the purpose of the hearing if—
“(A)
the defendant was convicted upon a plea of guilty;
“(B)
the defendant was convicted after a trial before the court sitting without a jury;
“(C)
the jury that determined the defendant's guilt was discharged for good cause; or
“(D)
after initial imposition of a sentence under this section, reconsideration of the sentence under this section is necessary; or
“(3)
before the court alone, upon the motion of the defendant and with the approval of the attorney for the government.
A jury impaneled pursuant to paragraph (2) shall consist of 12 members, unless, at any time before the conclusion of the hearing, the parties stipulate, with the approval of the court, that it shall consist of a lesser number.
“(c)

Proof of Mitigating and Aggravating Factors.—
Notwithstanding rule 32(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, when a defendant is found guilty or pleads guilty to an offense under section 3591, no presentence report shall be prepared. At the sentencing hearing, information may be presented as to any matter relevant to the sentence, including any mitigating or aggravating factor permitted or required to be considered under section 3592. Information presented may include the trial transcript and exhibits if the hearing is held before a jury or judge not present during the trial, or at the trial judge's discretion. The defendant may present any information relevant to a mitigating factor. The government may present any information relevant to an aggravating factor for which notice has been provided under subsection (a). Information is admissible regardless of its admissibility under the rules governing admission of evidence at criminal trials except that information may be excluded if its probative value is outweighed by the danger of creating unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, or misleading the jury. The government and the defendant shall be permitted to rebut any information received at the hearing, and shall be given fair opportunity to present argument as to the adequacy of the information to establish the existence of any aggravating or mitigating factor, and as to the appropriateness in the case of imposing a sentence of death. The government shall open the argument. The defendant shall be permitted to reply. The government shall then be permitted to reply in rebuttal. The burden of establishing the existence of any aggravating factor is on the government, and is not satisfied unless the existence of such a factor is established beyond a reasonable doubt. The burden of establishing the existence of any mitigating factor is on the defendant, and is not satisfied unless the existence of such a factor is established by a preponderance of the information.
“(d)

Return of Special Findings.—
The jury, or if there is no jury, the court, shall consider all the information received during the hearing. It shall return special findings identifying any aggravating factor or factors set forth in section 3592 found to exist and any other aggravating factor for which notice has been provided under subsection (a) found to exist. A finding with respect to a mitigating factor may be made by 1 or more members of the jury, and any member of the jury who finds the existence of a mitigating factor may consider such factor established for purposes of this section regardless of the number of jurors who concur that the factor has been established. A finding with respect to any aggravating factor must be unanimous. If no aggravating factor set forth in section 3592 is found to exist, the court shall impose a sentence other than death authorized by law.
“(e)

Return of a Finding Concerning a Sentence of Death.—
If, in the case of—
“(1)
an offense described in section 3591(a)(1), an aggravating factor required to be considered under section 3592(b) is found to exist;
“(2)
an offense described in section 3591(a)(2), an aggravating factor required to be considered under section 3592(c) is found to exist; or
“(3)
an offense described in section 3591(b), an aggravating factor required to be considered under section 3592(d) is found to exist,
the jury, or if there is no jury, the court, shall consider whether all the aggravating factor or factors found to exist sufficiently outweigh all the mitigating factor or factors found to exist to justify a sentence of death, or, in the absence of a mitigating factor, whether the aggravating factor or factors alone are sufficient to justify a sentence of death. Based upon this consideration, the jury by unanimous vote, or if there is no jury, the court, shall recommend whether the defendant should be sentenced to death, to life imprisonment without possibility of release or some other lesser sentence.
“(f)

Special Precaution To Ensure Against Discrimination.—
In a hearing held before a jury, the court, prior to the return of a finding under subsection (e), shall instruct the jury that, in considering whether a sentence of death is justified, it shall not consider the race, color, religious beliefs, national origin, or sex of the defendant or of any victim and that the jury is not to recommend a sentence of death unless it has concluded that it would recommend a sentence of death for the crime in question no matter what the race, color, religious beliefs, national origin, or sex of the defendant or of any victim may be. The jury, upon return of a finding under subsection (e), shall also return to the court a certificate, signed by each juror, that consideration of the race, color, religious beliefs, national origin, or sex of the defendant or any victim was not involved in reaching his or her individual decision and that the individual juror would have made the same recommendation regarding a sentence for the crime in question no matter what the race, color, religious beliefs, national origin, or sex of the defendant or any victim may be.
“§ 3594.

Imposition of a sentence of death
“Upon a recommendation under section 3593(e) that the defendant should be sentenced to death or life imprisonment without possibility of release, the court shall sentence the defendant accordingly. Otherwise, the court shall impose any lesser sentence that is authorized by law. Notwithstanding any other law, if the maximum term of imprisonment for the offense is life imprisonment, the court may impose a sentence of life imprisonment without possibility of release.
“§ 3595.

Review of a sentence of death

Decision and Disposition.—

“(2)
Whenever the court of appeals finds that—
“(A)
the sentence of death was imposed under the influence of passion, prejudice, or any other arbitrary factor;
“(B)
the admissible evidence and information adduced does not support the special finding of the existence of the required aggravating factor; or
“(C)
the proceedings involved any other legal error requiring reversal of the sentence that was properly preserved for appeal under the rules of criminal procedure,
the court shall remand the case for reconsideration under section 3593 or imposition of a sentence other than death. The court of appeals shall not reverse or vacate a sentence of death on account of any error which can be harmless, including any erroneous special finding of an aggravating factor, where the Government establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that the error was harmless.
“(3)
The court of appeals shall state in writing the reasons for its disposition of an appeal of a sentence of death under this section.
“§ 3596.

“(b)

ASYLUM.
(a)

Findings.—
The Senate finds that—
(1)
in the last decade applications for asylum have greatly exceeded the original 5,000 annual limit provided in the Refugee Act of 1980, with more than 150,000 asylum applications filed in fiscal year 1993, and the backlog of cases growing to 340,000;
(2)
this flood of asylum claims has swamped the system, creating delays in the processing of applications of up to several years;
(3)
the delay in processing asylum claims due to the overwhelming numbers has contributed to numerous problems, including—
(A)
an abuse of the asylum laws by fraudulent applicants whose primary interest is obtaining work authority in the United States while their claim languishes in the backlogged asylum processing system;
(B)
the growth of alien smuggling operations, often involving organized crime;
(C)
a drain on limited resources resulting from the high cost of processing frivolous asylum claims through our multilayered system; and
(D)
an erosion of public support for asylum, which is a treaty obligation.
(4)
asylum, a safe haven protection for aliens abroad who cannot return home, has been perverted by some aliens who use asylum claims to circumvent our immigration and refugee laws and procedures; and
(5)
a comprehensive revision of our asylum law and procedures is required to address these problems.
(b)

Policy.—
It is the sense of the Senate that—
(1)
asylum is a process intended to protect aliens in the United States who cannot safely return home;
(2)
persons outside their country of nationality who have a well-founded fear of persecution if they return should apply for refugee status at one of our refugee processing offices abroad; and
(3)
the immigration, refugee and asylum laws of the United States should be reformed to provide—
(A)
a procedure for the expeditious exclusion of any asylum applicant who arrives at a port-of-entry with fraudulent documents, or no documents, and makes a noncredible claim of asylum; and
(B)
the immigration, refugee and asylum laws of the United States should be reformed to provide for a streamlined affirmative asylum processing system for asylum applicants who make their application after they have entered the United States.

(a)
[18 U.S.C. 2252 note]

Declaration.—
The Congress declares that in enacting sections 2252 and 2256 of title 18, United States Code, it was and is the intent of Congress that—
(1)
the scope of “exhibition of the genitals or pubic area” in section 2256(2)(E), in the definition of “sexually explicit conduct”, is not limited to nude exhibitions or exhibitions in which the outlines of those areas were discernible through clothing; and

the requirements in section 2252(a) (1)(A), (2)(A), (3)(B)(i), and (4)(B)(i) that the production of a visual depiction involve the use of a minor engaging in “sexually explicit conduct” of the kind described in section 2256(2)(E) are satisfied if a person photographs a minor in such a way as to exhibit the child in a lascivious manner.

Sense of the Congress.—
It is the sense of the Congress that in filing its brief in United States v.

the videotapes in [the Knox case] constitute ‘
lascivious exhibition[s] of the genitals or pubic area
’ only if those body parts are visible in the tapes and the minors posed or acted lasciviously.

the owner of a motor vehicle may voluntarily sign a consent form with a participating State or locality in which the motor vehicle owner—
(A)
states that the vehicle is not normally operated under certain specified conditions; and
(B)
agrees to—
(i)
display program decals or devices on the owner's vehicle; and
(ii)
permit law enforcement officials in any State to stop the motor vehicle and take reasonable steps to determine whether the vehicle is being operated by or with the permission of the owner, if the vehicle is being operated under the specified conditions; and
(2)
participating States and localities authorize law enforcement officials in the State or locality to stop motor vehicles displaying program decals or devices under specified conditions and take reasonable steps to determine whether the vehicle is being operated by or with the permission of the owner.

be highly visible; and
(B)
explicitly state that the motor vehicle to which it is affixed may be stopped under the specified conditions without additional grounds for establishing a reasonable suspicion that the vehicle is being operated unlawfully.
(c)

Voluntary Consent Form.—
The voluntary consent form used to enroll in the program shall—
(1)
clearly state that participation in the program is voluntary;
(2)
clearly explain that participation in the program means that, if the participating vehicle is being operated under the specified conditions, law enforcement officials may stop the vehicle and take reasonable steps to determine whether it is being operated by or with the consent of the owner, even if the law enforcement officials have no other basis for believing that the vehicle is being operated unlawfully;
(3)
include an express statement that the vehicle is not normally operated under the specified conditions and that the operation of the vehicle under those conditions would provide sufficient grounds for a prudent law enforcement officer to reasonably believe that the vehicle was not being operated by or with the consent of the owner; and
(4)
include any additional information that the Attorney General may reasonably require.
(d)

Specified Conditions Under Which Stops May Be Authorized.—
(1)

(B)
the operation of the vehicle under other circumstances that would provide a sufficient basis for establishing a reasonable suspicion that the vehicle was not being operated by the owner, or with the consent of the owner.
(2)

More than one set of conditions.—
The Attorney General may establish more than one set of conditions under which participating motor vehicles may be stopped. If more than one set of conditions is established, a separate consent form and a separate design for program decals or devices shall be established for each set of conditions. The Attorney General may choose to satisfy the requirement of a separate design for program decals or devices under this paragraph by the use of a design color that is clearly distinguishable from other design colors.
(3)

No new conditions without consent.—
After the program has begun, the conditions under which a vehicle may be stopped if affixed with a certain decal or device design may not be expanded without the consent of the owner.
(4)

Limited participation by states and localities.—
A State or locality need not authorize the stopping of motor vehicles under all sets of conditions specified under the program in order to participate in the program.
(e)

Motor Vehicles for Hire.—
(1)

Notification to lessees.—
Any person who is in the business of renting or leasing motor vehicles and who rents or leases a motor vehicle on which a program decal or device is affixed shall, prior to transferring possession of the vehicle, notify the person to whom the motor vehicle is rented or leased about the program.
(2)

Type of notice.—
The notice required by this subsection shall—
(A)
be in writing;
(B)
be in a prominent format to be determined by the Attorney General; and
(C)
explain the possibility that if the motor vehicle is operated under the specified conditions, the vehicle may be stopped by law enforcement officials even if the officials have no other basis for believing that the vehicle is being operated unlawfully.

Scope and Nature of Order.—
“(1)

Directions.—
The order of restitution under this section shall direct that—
“(A)
the defendant pay to the victim (through the appropriate court mechanism) the full amount of the victim's losses as determined by the court, pursuant to paragraph (3); and
“(B)
the United States Attorney enforce the restitution order by all available and reasonable means.
“(2)

Enforcement by victim.—
An order of restitution may be enforced by a victim named in the order to receive the restitution as well as by the United States Attorney, in the same manner as a judgment in a civil action.
“(3)

Definition.—
For purposes of this subsection, the term ‘full amount of the victim's losses’ means all losses suffered by the victim as a proximate result of the offense.
“(4)

Order mandatory.—
(A)
The issuance of a restitution order under this section is mandatory.
“(B)
A court may not decline to issue an order under this section because of—
“(i)
the economic circumstances of the defendant; or
“(ii)
the fact that a victim has, or is entitled to, receive compensation for his or her injuries from the proceeds of insurance or any other source.
“(C)
(i)
Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), the court may take into account the economic circumstances of the defendant in determining the manner in which and the schedule according to which the restitution is to be paid.
“(ii)
For purposes of this subparagraph, the term ‘economic circumstances’ includes—
“(I)
the financial resources and other assets of the defendant;
“(II)
projected earnings, earning capacity, and other income of the defendant; and
“(III)
any financial obligations of the defendant, including obligations to dependents.
“(D)
Subparagraph (A) does not apply if—

“(ii)
the court enters in its order the amount of the victim's losses, and provides a nominal restitution award.
“(5)

any State civil proceeding, to the extent provided by the law of the State.
“(9)

Effect on other sources of compensation.—

“(10)

Condition of probation or supervised release.—
Compliance with a restitution issued under this section shall be a condition of any probation or supervised release of a defendant. The court may revoke probation or a term of supervised release, modify the terms or conditions of probation or a term of supervised release, hold the defendant in contempt pursuant to section 3583(e), or suspend the offender's eligibility for any grant, contract, loan, professional license, or commercial license provided by an agency of the United States or with appropriated funds of the United States if the defendant fails to comply with the order. In determining whether to revoke probation or a term of supervised release, modify the terms or conditions of probation or supervised release or hold a defendant serving a term of supervised release in contempt, the court shall consider the defendant's employment status, earning ability and financial resources, the willfulness of the defendant's failure to comply, and any other circumstances that may have a bearing on the defendant's ability to comply.
“(c)

Affidavit.—

Should the victim object to any of the information included in the affidavit, the United States Attorney (or the United States Attorney's delegee) shall advise the victim that the victim may file a separate affidavit and shall provide the victim with an affidavit form which may be used to do so.
“(2)

Objection.—
If, after the defendant has been notified of the affidavit, no objection is raised by the defendant, the amounts attested to in the affidavit filed pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be entered in the court's restitution order. If objection is raised, the court may require the victim or the United States Attorney (or the United States Attorney's delegee) to submit further affidavits or other supporting documents, demonstrating the victim's losses.
“(3)

Additional documentation and testimony.—
If the court concludes, after reviewing the supporting documentation and considering the defendant's objections, that there is a substantial reason for doubting the authenticity or veracity of the records submitted, the court may require additional documentation or hear testimony on those questions. The privacy of any records filed, or testimony heard, pursuant to this section shall be maintained to the greatest extent possible, and such records may be filed or testimony heard in camera.
“(4)

Final determination of losses.—
If the victim's losses are not ascertainable by the date that is 10 days prior to sentencing as provided in paragraph (1), the United States Attorney (or the United States Attorney's delegee) shall so inform the court, and the court shall set a date for the final determination of the victim's losses, not to exceed 90 days after sentencing. If the victim subsequently discovers further losses, the victim shall have 60 days after discovery of those losses in which to petition the court for an amended restitution order. Such order may be granted only upon a showing of good cause for the failure to include such losses in the initial claim for restitutionary relief.
“(d)

Modification of Order.—
A victim or the offender may petition the court at any time to modify a restitution order as appropriate in view of a change in the economic circumstances of the offender.
“(e)
