HB 4387 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the eligibility of a person to serve on a civilian oversight board.

HB 4387 sets eligibility rules for people serving on civilian oversight boards that monitor police or fire departments in Texas municipalities. It prohibits individuals convicted of a felony (including those on probation) or convicted of a crime of moral turpitude from serving on these boards. The bill amends the Local Government Code to define "civilian oversight board" and add Section 143.091 detailing these disqualification criteria. The law would take effect immediately if passed with a two-thirds vote, or September 1, 2025, otherwise.
