SB 44 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Relating to a study by the Department of Public Safety on emergency alert notification systems in this state.

SB 44 requires the Texas Department of Public Safety to study how well emergency alert systems work across the state. The study will examine communication methods (like phone alerts and road signs), whether alert areas are appropriately sized, whether too many systems exist, and how effectively alerts resolve emergencies. It must be completed by September 2026, with recommendations for potential improvements. This bill directs state agencies to review current systems but does not change alert protocols or funding.
