Rep. Toni Rose, the bill’s author, said: “I am disappointed in Gov. Abbott’s decision to veto HB 1855. The governor is correct — Texas should hold its state correctional officers to the ‘highest standards of professional excellence.’ HB 1855 sought such excellence by proposing that we equip correctional officers with mental health crisis intervention training that would have provided correctional officers knowledge on how to deescalate potentially violent situations, subsequently ensuring the safety of correctional officers and inmates alike. Stakeholders agreed that the minimum hours of training is reasonable and provides various exemptions to officers. This bill was crafted to ensure that TDCJ would still maintain flexibility in providing officers with training and education.”

She authored House Bill 12, which extends postpartum Medicaid benefits for Texas mothers from two to 12 months to eliminate preventable pregnancy-related deaths.

She championed legislation to establish a Statewide Interagency Aging Services Coordinating Council, expand access to low-cost prescription medication, create state residential treatment facilities for children without placement, and improve care for sickle cell patients.

Of all the accomplishments this session, I am most proud of working with state leaders in restoring $40 million for mental healthcare funding and securing another $8.1 million to prevent North Texans, who currently receive mental health services and medication, from being removed from the rolls.
