Relating to the collection and reporting of information regarding mental health jail diversion.

HB 1455 requires Texas law enforcement officers to report specific details when arresting individuals exhibiting signs of mental illness or intellectual disability. Officers must document behavioral indicators, arrest reasons, search details, use of force, and whether they attempted to divert the person to mental health treatment instead of jail. The law mandates these reports be submitted to jail authorities upon transfer and requires agencies to audit compliance. Currently pending in committee (no action taken as of April 2025), the bill aims to improve transparency in mental health crisis responses during arrests.
