Digest
HB 529 amends Section 772.0075 of the Texas Government Code to expand eligibility for the bulletproof vest and body armor grant program. The bill explicitly includes independent school districts as eligible entities under the definition of a "law enforcement agency." This adjustment ensures that school district police departments can access state funds to procure body armor and protective equipment for their peace officers. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
