The bill, H.B. No. 2355, amends Article 56B.058(b) of the Code of Criminal Procedure to enhance the confidentiality of information related to applications for compensation from the crime victims' compensation fund. It specifies that any information, documents, summaries, or records provided to or received by the attorney general in this context, including reports released under Article 56B.054(f), are not subject to disclosure under Chapter 552 of the Government Code, except as outlined in Section 552.132(c).

Additionally, the bill states that such information is not subject to disclosure, discovery, subpoena, or other legal compulsion for release, except as provided in a subsequent subsection. This legislation aims to protect sensitive information related to crime victims while ensuring that the attorney general can effectively manage compensation applications. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
