Relating to the adoption of a mental health leave policy for certain jailers.

HB 2103 requires Texas law enforcement agencies and entities employing jailers or full-time telecommunicators to create mental health leave policies. These policies must allow staff to take leave after work-related traumatic events without losing pay, specify the number of available leave days, and protect the user's anonymity. The bill specifically covers county jailers (as defined in Texas law) and Texas Department of Criminal Justice staff handling prisoner security, as well as telecommunicators. Agencies must adopt these policies by September 1, 2025, and may also list local mental health resources for staff. The law does not mandate specific leave durations but requires clear, objective guidelines for eligibility.
