The bill, H.B. No. 3246, proposes the establishment of a resilience training program specifically designed for first responders and active duty military personnel in Texas. It introduces a new Chapter 56 to the Health and Safety Code, which defines "active duty military personnel" and "first responder," and mandates the joint development and implementation of a cognitive health resilience training program by the commission, the Department of Public Safety, and the Texas Military Department. This program aims to assist these individuals in transitioning from their service roles to daily life effectively.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the training program must be accessible both in-person and electronically through the commission's website. The implementation of this program is to be carried out as soon as practicable after the bill's effective date, which is set for September 1, 2025.
