S.B. No. 2332 amends the Government Code to clarify the responsibilities of the Department of Public Safety (DPS) regarding aircraft owned and operated by the state. The bill specifies that the DPS is primarily responsible for maintaining and scheduling its aircraft, which must be based at locations deemed necessary by the department. Additionally, it mandates that pilots operating these aircraft must be employees of the DPS.

The bill also updates the applicability of the chapter concerning state-owned or leased aircraft by excluding certain sections, specifically Sections 2205.033 and 2205.0331. This legislative change is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
