Bill Summary · HB 2467

Legislative bill overview

HB 2467 modifies compensation and benefits provisions for peace officers commissioned by the Texas State Fire Marshal's office. The bill became law on June 20, 2025, and takes effect September 1, 2025. The specific compensation and benefits changes are not detailed in the action summary provided.

Why is this important

State fire marshal peace officers perform critical fire safety enforcement and investigation duties across Texas. Adjusting their compensation and benefits packages affects recruitment, retention, and operational capacity of the State Fire Marshal's office, which oversees fire code compliance and investigation of major fires.

Potential points of contention

  • The bill's specific compensation increases or benefit modifications are not disclosed in available information, making it unclear whether changes are cost-neutral, represent significant budget impacts, or address officer retention concerns
  • Potential equity questions regarding whether these adjustments align with or diverge from compensation for other state law enforcement officers
  • Implementation timeline of September 1, 2025 requires agency preparation and possible budget adjustments during the fiscal year
