Bill Summary
The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: The Act tells DSP to have a certain amount of troopers by 2036. (Flesch Readability Score: 63.4). Directs the Department of State Police to maintain a staffing level of at least 20 patrol troopers per 100,000 residents of this state, beginning on January 1, 2036.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Oregon Department of State Police (DSP) to maintain a minimum staffing level of 20 patrol troopers for every 100,000 state residents, starting on January 1, 2036. The staffing level will be calculated using population figures from the most recent federal decennial census, which is a count of the population conducted every ten years by the federal government. The bill provides the DSP with the ability to take preparatory actions before the 2036 operative date to ensure they can meet the new staffing requirement. This legislation aims to guarantee a consistent and adequate level of state police patrol coverage across Oregon, proportional to the state's population, which could help improve public safety and law enforcement responsiveness.
