HB 3109 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the operations of the Financial Crimes Intelligence Center.

HB 3109 transfers the Financial Crimes Intelligence Center from the Occupations Code to Government Code Chapter 426, establishing it under the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation. The bill defines key terms like "card fraud," "check fraud," and "payment fraud" (including skimmer-related crimes) to clarify the center's focus. It requires the Commission to adopt rules for implementation and designates the center as the state's primary entity for coordinating law enforcement agencies responding to payment fraud. This reorganization affects state agencies and law enforcement entities working together to detect and prevent financial crime.
