Relating to establishing a grant program to equip motor vehicles used by peace officers with certain bullet-resistant components.

SB 1788 establishes a grant program administered by Texas' criminal justice division to help law enforcement agencies purchase and install bullet-resistant windows and doors on vehicles used by peace officers. The program provides financial assistance for specific components, including windshields, side windows, rear windows, and door panels, to enhance officer safety during patrols. Law enforcement agencies must meet eligibility criteria, submit applications, and provide proof of purchase after using grant funds. The program takes effect September 1, 2025, and operates using available state funds. This bill directly affects state and local police departments that employ peace officers as defined under Texas law.
