Texas HB4387 establishes eligibility criteria for civilian oversight boards, excluding those convicted of felonies or crimes of moral turpitude.

Texas HB4387 amends the Local Government Code to define "civilian oversight board" as a municipal entity overseeing firefighters or police officers. It adds a new section specifying that individuals convicted of or on deferred adjudication for a felony, or convicted of a crime of moral turpitude, are ineligible to serve on these boards. The act takes effect immediately if approved by two-thirds of the legislature, otherwise it becomes effective September 1, 2025.
