Relating to the creation of a family violence criminal homicide prevention task force.
HB 4155 creates a Family Violence Criminal Homicide Prevention Task Force within Texas' criminal justice division. The task force, established by the governor, will include 14 specific members: representatives from family violence centers (rural and urban), advocacy organizations, legal services, state agencies (like the Attorney General's office and Health and Human Services), universities, prosecutors, police associations, and violence death reporting systems. Its purpose is to coordinate prevention efforts across these groups, though the bill itself does not change laws or create new programs - it only establishes the structure for collaboration.
