Enrolled Bill Summary

            House Bill 1150 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to clarify the offenses for which law enforcement agencies are required to notify school officials when an individual who is enrolled as a student in a public primary or secondary school is arrested. The offenses include certain crimes against the person, arson, robbery, burglary, unlawful use, sale, or possession of a controlled substance, engaging in organized criminal activity, unlawful possession of weapons, and a felony in which a deadly weapon was used.
