Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1545 by Clardy (Relating to the acceptance of certain high school courses to satisfy part of the training required to obtain a peace officer license.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Occupations Code to require the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement to adopt rules to establish a procedure under which credit hours earned for the successful completion of high school courses that directly relate to law enforcement can be counted toward the hours of training required of an applicant for a peace officer license. It is assumed any costs associated with implementing the bill could be absorbed within current resources.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2017.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
