This part shall be cumulative and supplemental to any other law of this state. A conviction or acquittal under any of the criminal provisions of Code Section 16-12-123, 16-12-124, 16-12-125, or 16-12-126 shall not be a bar to any other civil or criminal proceeding.

Restitution made pursuant to this subsection shall not preclude any party from obtaining any other civil or criminal remedy available under any other provision of law. The restitution authorized by this subsection is supplemental and not exclusive.
