The bill amends Section 772.0075(a) of the Government Code to clarify the definitions related to the bulletproof vest and body armor grant program. It introduces new definitions, specifying that "criminal justice division" refers to the division established under Section 772.006 and adds a definition for "law enforcement agency," which includes state agencies and political subdivisions authorized to employ peace officers, such as independent school districts.

These changes aim to enhance the clarity of the eligibility criteria for the grant program, ensuring that various law enforcement entities, including school districts, are recognized as eligible participants. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
