Relating to a required provision in certain governmental entity contracts regarding the carrying of handguns by license holders; providing civil penalties.

SB 1065 requires contractors working with Texas governmental entities (like schools, hospitals, or local governments) to include a specific clause in their contracts. This clause prohibits contractors from banning handgun license holders from property unless state law (Section 46.03 of the Penal Code) already prohibits carrying handguns there. Contractors violating this rule face civil penalties: $1,000-$1,500 for a first offense and $10,000-$10,500 for repeat violations. Residents or license holders can file complaints with the attorney general, and collected penalties fund the victims of crime compensation fund.
