HB 3268 amends the Crime Victims’ Compensation Act to allow the Texas Attorney General to deny or reduce compensation to victims who were engaged in illegal activities at the time they were injured. It specifies that compensation can be denied if the victim was participating in an unlawful activity that was related to the crime that caused their injury. The bill aims to ensure that state funds are not used to compensate individuals engaged in illegal conduct.
