S.B. No. 2383 amends Section 411.007 of the Government Code to introduce new provisions regarding the employment of certain peace officers within the Department of Public Safety. Specifically, it adds Subsections (h) and (i), which state that the existing regulations in Subsections (e), (e-1), and (f) do not apply to retired commissioned officers who are re-employed by the department as commissioned officers. Additionally, it defines a "retired commissioned officer" as someone who has retired from the Employees Retirement System of Texas and whose last position was as a commissioned officer within the department.

The bill stipulates that the amendments will only apply to individuals hired on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. This legislation aims to facilitate the re-employment of retired officers by exempting them from certain restrictions that apply to new hires, thereby potentially enhancing the workforce within the Department of Public Safety.
