AI Summary

This bill, known as the Richard Miles Act, amends the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure to require law enforcement agencies filing a case with the state attorney to include all documents, items, and information required to be disclosed to the defendant under Article 39.14. The law enforcement agency must also provide a written statement acknowledging that all such information has been provided. Additionally, the agency must promptly disclose to the state attorney any additional information discovered later that needs to be disclosed to the defendant. The law enforcement agency must also disclose the identity of any employee for whom a finding of misconduct has been sustained, as this information must be disclosed to the defendant under Article 39.14.
