S.B. No. 1131 establishes an advisory committee tasked with studying the implementation of suicide prevention and peer support programs within fire departments in Texas. The committee will consist of various members, including fire fighters and fire chiefs appointed by relevant associations, as well as licensed mental health professionals and a representative from the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service. The Texas Commission on Fire Protection will provide administrative support and resources for the committee, which may conduct meetings through various electronic means.

The advisory committee is required to submit a report to the governor and the legislature by September 1, 2026, detailing the current state of suicide prevention and peer support initiatives in fire departments, addressing potential licensing and confidentiality issues, and offering recommendations for legislative action and program development. The committee will be dissolved, and the act will expire on January 10, 2027, with the effective date of the act set for September 1, 2025.
