Senate Bill 64 amends the Occupations Code to require the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) to develop a peer support network for law enforcement officers in both rural and urban jurisdictions and to submit an annual report on the network to the governor and the legislature. The bill authorizes TCOLE to contract with appropriate institutions of higher education to develop the network and provides for the confidentiality and prohibited disclosure of information relating to a law enforcement officer's participation in services under the network. Additionally, an officer's participation may not serve as the basis for a revocation, suspension, or denial of a license by TCOLE or be considered in any proceeding related to the officer's licensure.
