Bill → law → agency context

This relationship layer distinguishes what the normalized official record can prove from what it cannot. Enactment and effective dates come from the bill record. Agency names below are shown only when an official fiscal document supplies a verified agency reference; being cited in a fiscal note does not by itself prove that the agency administers the resulting law.

KeepTXRed summary

SB 1171 improves compensation and benefits for commissioned peace officers and specified staff in the Texas Juvenile Justice Department Office of Inspector General.

What would change

TJJD must pay hazardous-duty pay to specified OIG investigators, inspectors general, security officers, and apprehension specialists rather than merely having discretion to do so. Commissioned OIG peace officers are brought into Schedule C compensation, specified physical-fitness programs, and state injury-leave protections.

Who may be affected

TJJD Office of Inspector General employees, commissioned peace officers, the State Auditor, TJJD, and state employee benefit administrators.

When it would take effect

The Act took effect September 1, 2025. Schedule C classification applies beginning with the 2026–2027 state fiscal biennium, and the amended injury-leave rule applies to injuries occurring on or after the effective date.

Limits and uncertainty

The compensation and leave provisions apply to the specific OIG job categories and commissioned officers identified by statute, not every TJJD employee.
