SB 2264 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the collection and reporting of information regarding mental health jail diversion.

SB 2264 requires Texas peace officers to report specific details when arresting individuals with suspected mental illness or intellectual disability. The bill mandates officers to document behavioral indicators, arrest reasons, search details, and whether they attempted to divert the person to mental health treatment instead of jail. Reports must include whether diversion efforts succeeded, use of restraints or force, and medical treatment during the arrest. These reports must be submitted to jail authorities when transferring custody, aiming to improve data collection for mental health crisis responses. The bill directly affects law enforcement officers and agencies handling such arrests in Texas.
