This bill mandates the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to conduct a comprehensive study on the effectiveness of emergency alert notification systems in Texas. The study will involve collaboration with various state agencies, including the Department of State Health Services and the Texas Division of Emergency Management. Key areas of analysis will include the methods of communication for emergency alerts, the appropriateness of the geographic regions for alert broadcasts, the potential overabundance of alert systems, and the success rate of these alerts in resolving emergencies.

The DPS is required to submit a written report by September 1, 2026, detailing the study's findings and providing legislative recommendations based on those findings. The bill also establishes an expiration date of September 1, 2027, for the Act, and it will take effect 91 days after the conclusion of the legislative session.
