Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 965	Senate Author:  Williams
Effective:  9-1-13	House Sponsor:  Bohac

            Previous law required an administrative law judge to order a law enforcement officer employment termination report based on alleged misconduct to be changed if the alleged misconduct is not supported by a preponderance of the evidence. Senate Bill 965 amends the Occupations Code to instead require the judge to order the Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE) to change the report under those circumstances and to require TCLEOSE to send the changed report to the law enforcement agency that prepared the original termination report. The bill requires the agency to replace the original report with the changed report.
