AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT

 

Currently, under Section 1701.260(g), Occupations Code, school marshal licenses expire: "�the first birthday of the person occurring after the second anniversary of the date the commission licenses the person." This has made it far more difficult to keep track of than a unified expiration date. S.B. 477 would make all school marshal licenses expire on August 31 occurring after the second anniversary of licensure to create a unified expiration date.

 

As proposed, S.B. 477 amends current law relating to the expiration of a school marshal license issued or renewed by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement.

 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

 

This bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, institution, or agency.
