Relating to a policy governing the operation of a motor vehicle by a peace officer in pursuit of certain persons.

This bill requires the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to create a policy for how its officers operate vehicles during pursuits of individuals suspected of committing certain offenses under Chapter 51 of the Penal Code (such as traffic violations). The policy must closely match the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's existing directive on emergency driving and vehicle pursuits. DPS must adopt the rules by December 1, 2025, and the policy takes effect September 1, 2025. It directly affects DPS officers conducting pursuits but does not change when pursuits may occur.
