What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
