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 summarize various aspects of the compensation process, including the number of applications received, granted, and denied, along with the reasons for these outcomes. Additionally, it will provide information on the amount of awards, demographics related to the awards, the services funded, and overall funding received by the office. The Attorney General will oversee the report's preparation, which must be completed within six months after the end of the fiscal year.

The report is to be submitted to both the Governor and the Legislature and will also be published on the official website of the Department of Law and Public Safety. This legislation codifies the existing practice of the VCCO, ensuring transparency and accountability in the compensation process for victims of crime.
