Bill Analysis

HB 1419 would require a justice of the peace investigating certain deaths to enter all available identifying features of the unidentified body (fingerprints, dental records, any unusual physical characteristics, and a description of the clothing found on the body) into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. The bill makes similar requirements on the entering of other incidents into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action is neutral on HB 1419 which does not appear to weigh on our liberty principles.
