Relating to applicability of civil service status to emergency medical services personnel in certain municipalities.
HB 1107 modifies Texas law to extend civil service job protections to emergency medical services (EMS) personnel working in municipal departments separate from fire departments. It applies only to cities with populations of 460,000 or more that operate under a city manager form of government (either currently or as of when they adopted the relevant law). The bill ensures these specific EMS workers in qualifying municipalities receive the same job security, hiring procedures, and grievance processes as other civil service employees. This change takes effect September 1, 2025, after passing with a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers.
