Texas HB3744 amends the definition of "intervenor" for crime victims' compensation purposes.

Texas HB3744 amends the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure to redefine "intervenor" as an individual who goes to the aid of another and is killed or injured in a good faith effort to prevent a criminal offense, apprehend a person reasonably suspected of having engaged in criminally injurious conduct, or aid a peace officer. This change applies only to actions taken on or after the effective date of the Act, which is September 1, 2025.
