What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires officer recruits for law enforcement agencies, jails, or

juvenile detention facilities to complete preparatory training and for law

enforcement officers to complete annual recertification training. Under current law,

the Law Enforcement Standards Board authorizes the reimbursement to political

subdivisions of approved expenses. This bill requires LESB to pay the law

enforcement agency for the approved preparatory expenses. Under current law, the

approved expenses for annual recertification training must include at least $160 per

law enforcement officer. This bill increases the minimum amount per officer to $320

and specifies that the law enforcement agency that employs the officer be paid for the

approved expenses of the officer's annual recertification training.
