No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Occupations Code to require the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement to work in collaboration with certain entities to establish and maintain two training programs for first responders and/or police officers on the effects of traumatic brain injury and interaction techniques with individuals with traumatic brain injury. It is assumed any costs associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within existing resources.
While this additional training may be beneficial, this legislation neither affirms nor offends our liberty principles. For this reason we are neutral on HB 1338.
The second chamber sponsor is Senator Menendez.
