What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, no person may be appointed to serve as a county deputy sheriff or as a city, village, or town police officer unless the person is a citizen of the United States. This bill repeals that citizenship requirement. The bill also prohibits the Law Enforcement Standards Board from preventing a person from participating in a law enforcement preparatory training program because the person is not a citizen of the United States.
