AI Summary
This bill relates to the licensing of certain veterans by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement and the hiring of those veterans by political subdivisions. It allows the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement to issue licenses to legal permanent residents who are honorably discharged veterans of the U.S. armed forces with at least two years of service, as long as they have applied for U.S. citizenship. It also allows political subdivisions to appoint or employ such veterans to positions that require a license from the Commission, though they cannot hire them for supervisory positions until they become U.S. citizens.
