Bill Summary
This bill requires the Attorney General, in consultation with the Commissioner of Transportation, to establish a training course to prepare law enforcement to interact with autonomous vehicles. The bill requires every law enforcement officer appointed prior to the effective date of this act to complete the training course no later than December 31, 2020. Prior to being appointed to permanent status as a law enforcement officer, an individual is required to complete the training course.
