Relating to compensatory time off for certain state employees.

SB 2186 requires the state to provide compensatory time off (1 hour for each hour worked) to specific state employees who work on national or state holidays falling on Saturdays or Sundays. It directly affects: Department of Family and Protective Services intake staff handling abuse/neglect reports; state peace officers; Texas Department of Public Safety communications/dispatch staff, public security officers, and traffic/criminal intelligence analysts; Parks and Wildlife communications staff; Texas Juvenile Justice Department communications staff; and juvenile correctional security officers. The bill amends Government Code Section 662.005 to specify these employee categories, replacing prior language. This policy change takes effect September 1, 2025.
