Relating to the duty of the attorney general to prosecute certain criminal offenses.

SB 846 requires the Texas Attorney General to prosecute specific criminal offenses if local prosecutors fail to act within six months. It applies to offenses under the Election Code, Health and Safety Code (Chapters 170A/171), and certain Penal Code chapters (20A, 36, 39). The bill mandates that law enforcement agencies must simultaneously send reports of these offenses to both local prosecutors and the Attorney General, triggering the AG's mandatory prosecution duty after six months without local action. This change takes effect September 1, 2025, and only applies to offenses committed on or after that date.
