IN RE:
HB2614 by Dutton (Relating to a peace officer training advisory committee.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Occupations Code to create the officer training advisory committee, which consists of seven members of the legislature. The committee would be required to study the training programs TCOLE establishes and maintains for officers who are required to hold a law enforcement license. Not later than December 1, 2016, the bill would require the committee to report the study's findings and recommendations to the members of the legislature. It is assumed the costs associated with implementing the provisions of the bill can be absorbed within existing resources. The bill would take effect September 1, 2015.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
