House Bill 2769 amends provisions of the Government Code, the Health and Safety Code, and the Occupations Code relating to the presentation of state flags to survivors of certain deceased peace officers. The bill amends the flag presentation requirements to limit flag presentations to the survivors of peace officers who were currently employed as peace officers or honorably retired peace officers who voluntarily terminated their employment with a law enforcement agency of this state. The bill also requires the Department of State Health Services to include "honorably retired peace officer" in the current question regarding peace officer status on the registration of death form.
