LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD
Austin, Texas
FISCAL NOTE, 87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
May 4, 2021
TO:
Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
SB2212 by West (Relating to the duty of a peace officer to request and render aid for an injured person.), As Engrossed
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to require an on-duty peace officer to request emergency medical services and render aid for an injured person to the extent of the officer's skill and training unless doing so would expose the officer or another person to a risk of bodily injury or the officer is injured and physically unable to make the request or provide the treatment.
This analysis assumes that any related costs could be absorbed using existing resources and that implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on state correctional populations or on the demand for state correctional resources.
Local Government Impact
According to the Texas Municipal League, no significant fiscal implication to municipalities is anticipated.
