IN RE: | HB175 by King, Susan (Relating to continuing education and training for peace officers relating to the investigation and prevention of drive-by shootings.), As Introduced |
The bill would amend the Occupations Code, Section 1701 to establish a requirement for peace officer training related to the investigation and prevention of drive by shootings. The bill would also require the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE) to develop the training and education program required by the bill and administer the training or certify other entities to administer the training. The bill would take effect September 1, 2009.
This analysis assumes all costs associated with the bill can be absorbed within TCLEOSE’s current appropriations.
