House Bill 245 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to require the office of the attorney general to conduct an investigation after receiving a report asserting that a law enforcement agency failed to submit a required report for officer-involved injury or death or for injuries or deaths of peace officers and, if appropriate, to notify the agency of the failure to report. The bill makes an agency that fails to submit such a report liable for a civil penalty and requires collected penalties to be deposited to the crime victims compensation fund.
