What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Technical College System Board to work with technical

colleges to establish part-time police academy programs offered by at least two

technical colleges. The TCS Board must endeavor to maximize statewide access to

these programs in determining which technical colleges will offer the programs. The

TCS Board must require at least two technical colleges to offer part-time police

academy programs by January 1, 2023, and must distribute to the selected technical

colleges for these programs $1,000,000 in moneys received under the federal

American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 that the governor is required under the bill to

allocate for this purpose.
