Bill Caption
Relating to child and adolescent interaction education and training for certain peace and reserve law enforcement officers.
Fiscal Notes
It is assumed any costs associated with
implementing the provisions of the bill could be absorbed within current resources.
Bill Analysis
HB 2279 would require a law enforcement officer to complete a
training program on techniques to facilitate interactions with children,adolescents,and teenagers with mental and behavioral health needs along with education and training on youth development and psychology.
Vote Recommendation Notes
As long as adding this additional education and training doesn't cost Texans substantially more money the provisions of HB 2279 should not be an issue. However, there is no connection between this bill and our liberty principles. We are neutral on this legislation.
