This bill mandates the Victims of Crime Compensation Office (VCCO) to produce an annual report detailing compensation awarded to victims of crime. The report will include comprehensive information such as the number of applications for compensation, the number granted and denied along with reasons for these decisions, the total amount of awards, demographic data related to the awards, the services funded, and any additional relevant information as determined by the Attorney General and the Executive Director of the VCCO.

The report is required to be completed within six months after the end of the fiscal year and will be submitted to both the Governor and the Legislature. Additionally, it will be published on the official website of the Department of Law and Public Safety, ensuring transparency and accessibility of the information to the public. This legislation codifies the existing practice of the VCCO, formalizing the reporting process and its contents.
