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

The bill emphasizes transparency and accountability in the compensation process for crime victims by requiring this comprehensive report to be submitted to both the Governor and the Legislature. It is designed to ensure that stakeholders are informed about the operations and effectiveness of the VCCO in providing support to victims. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
