Committee forwards bill allowing DPSST to investigate certification regardless of employment status
Summary
House Bill 2,926 — which authorizes DPSST to investigate or deny certification of public safety officers and instructors regardless of employment status — was moved out of committee with a due-pass recommendation.
The House Committee on Judiciary on Feb. 11 voted to move House Bill 2,926 to the floor with a due-pass recommendation. The measure authorizes the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) to investigate or take action to deny the application or certification of a public safety officer or instructor regardless of employment status.
Vice Chair Waller introduced the work session on the bill and committee members had no substantive questions on policy during the session. A motion was made and the committee recorded several “aye” votes; the motion passed and the bill was reported to the House floor. The committee noted the bill’s stated effective date would be 91 days after adjournment unless the Legislature specifies otherwise.
No amendments or technical drafting changes were recorded during the committee discussion.
The committee closed the work session and proceeded to public hearings scheduled for the day.
