The bill amends Article 14.03(g)(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure to expand the authority of certain peace officers to make arrests without a warrant while outside their jurisdiction. Specifically, it includes peace officers who are licensed under Chapter 1701 of the Occupations Code and clarifies that they may arrest individuals for offenses committed in their presence or view. However, for violations related to Subtitle C, Title 7 of the Transportation Code, the arrest can only occur if the offense takes place in the county or counties where the municipality or district employing the peace officer is located.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025. The key insertions in the legal language include the addition of "or" and the specification that the peace officer must be licensed under Chapter 1701, as well as the stipulation regarding the geographical limitations for certain transportation-related offenses.
