| 5 | 5 | A BILL TO BE ENTITLED | |
| 6 | 6 | AN ACT | |
| 7 | 7 | relating to the suspension of the license of a dishonorably | |
| 8 | 8 | discharged law enforcement officer. | |
| 9 | 9 | BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | |
| 10 | 10 | SECTION 1. Section 1701.4521(a), Occupations Code, is | |
| 11 | 11 | amended to read as follows: | |
| 12 | 12 | (a) The commission shall suspend the license of an officer | |
| 13 | 13 | licensed under this chapter on notification that the officer has | |
| 14 | 14 | been dishonorably discharged [if the officer has previously been | |
| 15 | 15 | dishonorably discharged from another law enforcement agency]. | |
| 16 | 16 | SECTION 2. (a) In this section, "dishonorably discharged" | |
| 17 | 17 | has the meaning assigned by Section 1701.452, Occupations Code. | |
| 18 | 18 | (b) Section 1701.4521(a), Occupations Code, as amended by | |
| 19 | 19 | this Act, applies only to the suspension of a license issued under | |

| 21 | 21 | is dishonorably discharged on or after the effective date of this | |

| 26 | 26 | purpose. | |
| 27 | 27 | SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2021. |
