Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to eligibility for the bulletproof vest and body armor grant program.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the definitions within Section 772.0075 of the Texas Government Code related to the bulletproof vest and body armor grant program. Specifically, the bill clarifies and expands the definitions of two key terms: "criminal justice division" and introduces a new definition for "law enforcement agency". The bill maintains the existing definition that the "criminal justice division" refers to the division established under Section 772.006, while adding a new definition for "law enforcement agency" that broadly includes any state or political subdivision agency legally authorized to employ peace officers, which explicitly includes independent school districts. This expanded definition potentially broadens the range of entities eligible for bulletproof vest and body armor grants. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and appears to have passed both the Texas Senate and House with significant majority votes.
