Relating to required reporting of certain discretionary prosecutorial decisions of prosecuting attorneys.

SB 1440 requires Texas prosecuting attorneys to report to the Attorney General when they refuse to prosecute certain serious crimes (including offenses under Title 5 or 6 of the Penal Code, such as assault or sexual assault, and Chapter 29 offenses like robbery). The report must include case details, the prosecutor’s reasoning for not proceeding, and the alleged offender’s criminal history. The Attorney General must then post anonymized summaries monthly online, showing the county and offense type affected, without revealing personal information. The law takes effect on September 1, 2025. It directly affects county prosecutors handling these specific criminal cases.
