Fiscal Analysis

The bill would require an officer to complete an active shooter training program as a curriculum requirement to become licensed as a peace officer. 

This bill would take effect September 1, 2023. 

Methodology

Based on information provided by the Texas State University System, an additional four FTEs would be required for the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center to provide the training as required by the bill. These four FTEs would include an Assistant Director of Finance, Coordinator, Assistant Logistics Coordinator, and Regional Supervisor. The salaries and benefits for these FTEs would total $303,030 per year. Other costs, totaling $257,576, include Professional Services and supplies for two adjunct instructors.

Based on information provided by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, it is assumed the costs associated with the bill's provisions could be absorbed using existing resources.
