Bill Caption

Relating to the denial or reduction of an award otherwise payable under the Crime Victims' Compensation Act.

Fiscal Notes

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

SB 957 would prohibit the Attorney General from denying or reducing funds given to a person from the Crime Victims' Compensation Program based on that person's interactions with law enforcement at the crime scene or a hospital, unless they find that the person subsequently refused to substantially cooperate with law enforcement.

Vote Recommendation Notes

The provisions of SB 957 do not conflict with our Liberty Principles; therefore Texas Action remains neutral.
