HB 1115 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the employment of honorably retired peace officers as school district security personnel and the applicability to those officers of certain law governing private security.

HB 1115 allows school districts to hire honorably retired peace officers as security personnel while maintaining their active peace officer licenses. It requires these officers to comply with specific licensing rules under the Occupations Code (Sections 1701.351 and 1701.352) and defines "school district honorably retired peace officer" in the Occupations Code. The bill exempts these officers from standard private security licensing requirements when working in school security roles, as clarified in Occupations Code Section 1702.322. This directly affects retired peace officers seeking school security jobs and school districts hiring them.
