The commission shall adopt and promulgate rules and regulations prescribing the procedures to be followed in the filing of applications and proceedings under the Nebraska Crime Victim’s Reparations Act and any other matters the commission considers appropriate, including special circumstances, such as when expenses of job retraining or similar employment-related rehabilitative services are involved, under which an award from the Victim’s Compensation Fund may exceed twenty-five thousand dollars. If the rules and regulations authorize awards in excess of twenty-five thousand dollars for special circumstances, the amount of an award in excess of twenty-five thousand dollars shall only be used for such special circumstances. The committee shall make available all forms and educational materials necessary to promote the existence of the programs to persons throughout the state.
