Relating to the punishment for the criminal offense of attempted capital murder of a peace officer; increasing a criminal penalty; changing eligibility for parole and mandatory supervision.

SB 1272 increases penalties for attempting to commit capital murder against peace officers by reclassifying the offense as a first-degree felony punishable by 25-99 years in prison (Penal Code §15.01(e)). It also prohibits parole eligibility for this offense by amending Government Code §508.145(a)(1) and prevents mandatory supervision under §508.149(a)(1). This bill directly affects individuals convicted of attempting to kill police officers or peace officers while on duty. The key changes are raising the offense category to a first-degree felony and removing parole and mandatory supervision options for this specific crime.
