House Bill 2445 amends the Occupations Code to require the Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education to suspend the license of a law enforcement officer on notification that the officer has been dishonorably discharged, if the officer has previously been dishonorably discharged from another law enforcement agency. The bill sets out appeal procedures and authorizes the commission to revoke or reinstate the license under certain circumstances. The bill provides that the commission's decision does not affect the employment relationship between an officer and a law enforcement agency, or any disciplinary action taken against an officer by a law enforcement agency.
