SB 2228 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the financial crimes intelligence center.

SB 2228 establishes a Financial Crimes Intelligence Center in Texas to combat two specific crimes: card fraud using skimmers (devices that steal credit card data) and motor fuel theft (using devices that manipulate fuel meters). The bill defines key terms like "skimmer" and "motor fuel theft" to clarify these offenses for law enforcement. The center will coordinate law enforcement, financial institutions, and merchants to share information, provide training, and develop prevention strategies for these crimes. It also allows the center to assist agencies upon request and share non-sensitive data with affected businesses.
