Relating to the definition of authorized peace officer for purposes of certain laws governing the installation and use of tracking equipment and access to certain communications.

SB 739 clarifies which law enforcement personnel can legally use tracking devices and access certain communications under Texas law. It expands the definition of "authorized peace officer" to include specific roles like county constables, municipal police officers, state park rangers, juvenile justice investigators, and state alcohol agency agents. This change ensures these officers can operate under existing legal frameworks without ambiguity when using tracking equipment or accessing communications data. The bill directly affects local, county, and state law enforcement agencies across Texas that rely on these tools for investigations.
