The bill, introduced by Senator Eckhardt, mandates the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to conduct a comprehensive study on emergency alert notification systems in Texas. This study will be carried out in collaboration with various state agencies, including the Department of State Health Services and the Texas Division of Emergency Management. The DPS is tasked with analyzing how emergency alerts are communicated, evaluating the appropriateness of the geographic regions for these alerts, assessing the number of systems in use, and determining the effectiveness of these alerts in resolving emergencies.

The findings of the study are to be compiled into a report, which must be submitted by September 1, 2026, to key state officials and legislative committees. This report will also include legislative recommendations based on the study's results. The bill is set to expire on September 1, 2027, and will take effect 91 days after the conclusion of the legislative session.
