Relating to eligibility for the bulletproof vest and body armor grant program.

SB 1858 clarifies eligibility for Texas's bulletproof vest and body armor grant program by expanding the definition of "law enforcement agency" to explicitly include independent school districts. This change allows school districts - previously unclear under the program - to apply for grants covering body armor and bulletproof vests for campus safety personnel. The bill amends Government Code Section 772.0075(a) with these specific definitions, effective September 1, 2025. It directly affects school districts and law enforcement agencies seeking these safety equipment grants. The legislation does not alter grant funding levels or application processes, only who qualifies to apply.
