Relating to municipal civilian complaint review boards for peace officer misconduct in certain municipalities.

SB 280 creates civilian review boards in Texas cities with populations of 200,000 or more to investigate complaints about police misconduct. These boards must have five members appointed by city leadership, county officials, and police leadership, with strict rules preventing current law enforcement staff or officials from serving. The boards will specifically review complaints alleging excessive force, threats, unlawful searches, or other abuses of authority by police officers. This requirement applies only to large municipalities, not all Texas cities.
