Bill Caption
Relating to the enforcement of commercial motor vehicle safety
standards in certain municipalities.
Fiscal Notes
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
SB 636 would allow police officers of municipalities with a population of less than
75,000 that are located in three counties, at least one of which with a population greater than 3.3 million, to apply for certification to enforce commercial vehicle safety standards. This would effectively allow peace officers in Katy, Texas, to enforce these standards.
Vote Recommendation Notes
Texas Action remains neutral on this bill as it does not have any direct impact upon our liberty principles.
