Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1015 amends the Government Code to establish the confidentiality of certain information about a crime victim held by a governmental body or filed with a court as part of a crime victim impact statement. The confidential information includes the name, address, telephone number, and social security number of the crime victim and any other information that would identify or tend to identify the crime victim. An amendment to provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure relating to crime victim compensation expands the definition of compensable "pecuniary loss" to include the reasonable and necessary costs of travel and lodging associated with witnessing an execution.
