IN RE:
HB1442 by Lopez (Relating to required training on trauma affected veterans for certain peace officers.), As Introduced
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Occupations Code as it relates to the required training for certain peace officers. Under the provisions of the bill, certain peace officers would be required to complete trauma affected veterans training.
This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources. The bill does not expressly create a felony offense, increase the punishment for an existing misdemeanor to that of a felony, increase the punishment for an existing felony offense or category of felony level offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for felony community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.
