IN RE:
HB1550 by Cyrier (Relating to the continuation and functions of the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement.), As Introduced
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Occupations Code as it relates the continuation and functions of the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE). Under the provisions of the bill, certain functions, trainings, reporting requirements, disciplinary processes, and regulatory actions would be modified.
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.
