What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill makes certain changes to the responsibilities of the Law Enforcement

Standards Board. Under current law, the Law Enforcement Standards Board

regulates the training of law enforcement officers. This bill requires the Law

Enforcement Standards Board to also regulate jail and juvenile detention officer

training standards, and to regulate recruitment standards for the recruiting of new

law enforcement, jail, and juvenile detention officers.

The bill also requires each law enforcement agency to maintain an employment

file for each employee. Under the bill, when a law enforcement agency, jail, or

juvenile detention facility is recruiting for new officers, the agency, jail, or facility

must require each candidate that is or has been employed by a different agency, jail,

or facility to authorize that employer to disclose his or her employment files to the

recruiting agency, jail, or facility and to release that employer from any liability

related to the use and disclosure of the files.
