Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Hazard pay for juvenile justice investigators

Beginning September 1, 2025, certain Texas Juvenile Justice Department inspector general staff must receive hazardous duty pay. Covered jobs are investigators, inspectors general, security officers, and apprehension specialists. Central-office restrictions and limits on using funds for across-the-board raises do not block this required pay. The supplied text does not state the pay amount.

Injury benefits cover juvenile justice officers

The law extends an existing injury-benefit rule to peace officers commissioned by the Texas Juvenile Justice Department's inspector general office. It covers only injuries occurring on or after September 1, 2025. The supplied text does not describe the specific benefits or their amounts.

State police pay schedule for juvenile officers

Beginning September 1, 2025, qualifying Texas Juvenile Justice Department peace officers must receive pay under the state's Schedule C. This covers officers commissioned under Human Resources Code Section 242.102(d). Schedule C salaries are set by the General Appropriations Act; the supplied text gives no salary amounts. The State Auditor's classification officer must classify inspector general commissioned officers as Schedule C positions for the 2025–2027 budget period. That temporary classification instruction expires September 1, 2027; the separate Schedule C pay requirement has no stated expiration.

Law enforcement definition changes agency coverage

Beginning September 1, 2025, the law adds the Texas Juvenile Justice Department to one statutory definition of law enforcement agency. It removes the attorney general's office from that same definition. This change concerns Government Code Section 614.171, not every legal definition of law enforcement. The supplied text does not identify a direct household benefit or cost.
