S.B. No. 906 amends Article 2A.003(a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure to grant the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo the authority to employ and commission peace officers for the enforcement of state law within their reservation. This amendment adds the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo to the existing provisions that already include the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas, while removing the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas from the list of tribes authorized to commission peace officers.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage in both the Senate and the House with significant support. The Senate approved the bill with a vote of 31-0, and the House passed it with a vote of 116-26, indicating a strong legislative backing for the expanded authority of the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo.
