The bill requires the Department of Public Safety and local police agencies to include an arrestee's ethnicity when they send incident-based offense statistics to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program. It touches every Texas law enforcement agency that uses an incident-based reporting system, and it touches the people they arrest. Starting September 1, 2025, ethnicity becomes a required field in those federal reports.
