What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Subject to the approval of the adjutant general, or his or her designee, this bill authorizes a sheriff or undersheriff to depute a security officer employed by the Department of Military Affairs to provide protection for state and federal personnel, property, and assets that are located at or near military installations and air bases in this state. Such a deputed individual is not subject to the civil service protections that apply to other deputies, and the deputed individual serves at the pleasure of the deputing authority. The deputed individual remains a state employee for all purposes and may not bring a workers compensation action against the county in which the officer provides protection services or against the deputing authority.
The bill also allows the deputed individual to be treated as a state employee for the purposes of the payment of any judgment or the payment of attorney fees and costs if the individual is sued for any act committed while carrying out the duties the individual was deputed to perform. Under the bill, the state would be responsible for those payments.
