This bill mandates the Attorney General to instruct the Executive Director of the Victims of Crime Compensation Office to produce an annual report for the Governor and the Legislature. The report will summarize various aspects of compensation awarded to victims, including the number of applications for compensation, the outcomes of those applications (both granted and denied), the reasons for these outcomes, the total amount of awards, demographic information related to the awards, the services funded, and any additional relevant information as determined by the Attorney General and the executive director.
The report is required to be completed within six months after the end of the State fiscal year and will be published on the official website of the Department of Law and Public Safety. This act is set to take effect immediately upon approval, which occurred on August 4, 2025.
