House Bill 3178 repeals Government Code provisions establishing procedures for mutual aid provided under the Texas Statewide Mutual Aid System by the political subdivisions in a state planning region in response to a request by a political subdivision in the region or outside of the region or by the state. The bill removes the deadline for confirming in writing a verbal request for mutual aid and makes the requirement that a local government entity requesting mutual aid assistance from another such entity under the system reimburse the actual costs of providing the assistance to the entity contingent on the assistance requiring a response that exceeds 12 consecutive hours.
