The bill proposes the establishment of the Office of State Special Prosecutor in Texas, which will be appointed by the Supreme Court. This new office will have concurrent jurisdiction to represent the state in various criminal cases, including violations of election laws, human trafficking, abortion laws, and other specified offenses. The state special prosecutor will serve a four-year term and may appoint assistant state special prosecutors to assist in their duties. Additionally, provisions are included for the appointment of successors in case of vacancies and for the potential collaboration with the attorney general's office for staffing resources.

The bill also amends existing sections of the Government Code to incorporate the state special prosecutor into the definitions and provisions related to state prosecutors. It ensures that the state special prosecutor receives a salary comparable to that of district judges and outlines the expenses they are entitled to for office operations. The office is set to be created on January 1, 2026, with the act taking effect on the same date.
