Relating to the release of defendants on bail, the duties of a magistrate in certain criminal proceedings, and the notice provided by peace officers to victims of family violence, stalking, harassment, or terroristic threat.

SB 1047 amends Texas law to improve transparency in bail decisions for defendants charged with Class B misdemeanors or more serious offenses. It requires a new public safety report system to include specific defendant information - like criminal history, previous bond failures, protective orders, and pending charges - when magistrates set bail. The bill also mandates that magistrates consider these factors and establishes clearer procedures for notifying victims of family violence, stalking, harassment, or terroristic threats. This affects defendants facing bail decisions, magistrates, and victims in these cases, aiming to standardize information used in pretrial release determinations. The bill is currently pending in committee after recent testimony.
