Bill > HB1135

This bill allows certified law enforcement officers or certified part-time law enforcement officers employed by a county or municipality to use their official vehicle while performing private security services in off-duty hours, with the approval of the governing authority or sheriff. It also allows municipalities, municipal police departments, and sheriffs' departments to contract with school districts to provide additional police protection, and allows off-duty municipal or county law enforcement officers hired for security purposes by school districts to use their uniforms and equipment, including vehicles, during such off-duty employment. Additionally, the bill provides that any law enforcement officer who tests positive for drug use must be given the opportunity to undergo a more reliable hair follicle test before being terminated or suspended without pay.
